Here’s my beautiful unemployed-for-too-long-have-no-money-dont-care-about-looks lab :)

Hey it’s more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    My janky homelab lol. Mostly ebay secondhand Enterprise stuff and a Chinese SXM2 mezzanine board to run dual NVLinked 16gb V100s. I also have a TrueNAS Sacle mini itx server running upstairs with my “arr” stack and some other useful tools.

      OK you’ll be able to tell I haven’t bought a graphics card in a while, so…wtf kind of graphics card is that? It’s manly for sure…almost phallic in nature. What do you do with it besides ‘Any ting you wan’.

        looks like an older nvidia workstation card. potentially a tesla k80 of the top of my head? the annoying thing with those cards is that they’re meant to be passively cooled in a temperature controlled environment, so looks like they added a fan to help keep it cool. those cards get mad hot otherwise.

        You can bolt whatever you want on those. My friend made his gaming rig like that and the sides are cardboard from his grandparent’s adult diaper boxes.

      I’ve wanted to make frames like that but those aluminum extrusions are so expensive here. I’m tempted to just get stainless square tube and weld it. The welder would appreciate getting dusted off and receiving the attention.

        I thankfully snagged this one pretty cheap off eBay. It’s actually an 8-gpu mining rig frame that conveniently fit my CEB motherboard lol
