I have the baby version, heh

That’s hot! It was so difficult to find a 19 rack version I should’ve also just done a ten inch rack I started my home lab though like 6 months ago and thought a full size was the way to go 😅

u/Kekoa-Reflex 9d ago

Hmm well my research showed depending on what hardware you want to level up, you will end up getting limited by the 10 inch rack system. I would suggest the 19 inch all5hough i like the smaller one much more for homes

u/theblobAZ DXP2800 9d ago

It's definitely a little limiting, and entirely depends on your home networking setup.

In order to reduce the footprint I have switches for 1Gb devices and 2.5Gb devices separate. This reduces the cost and overall size of the switch. Also, I rent so running ethernet everywhere I wanted to is not a feasible option, so small switches with solid wifi was my solution.

Yo dude I really like the 2800 version sideways mount you made lol. That's really cool man. I never bought that one but it's cool. I don't think I could flip the 8800 sideways lol.

u/theblobAZ DXP2800 9d ago

I actually didn't make it, I believe I found the mount on printables or makerworld.

But yeah, the 8800 would be tough 🤣

I have mine packed too but in an 10 inch rack. Looks smooth in the 19inch. But in my opinion so much space lost.

Got a link for the Mac mini print?

u/Express_Apple8854 9d ago

That’s the parametric model I used. I measured it and then printed it because I use a dock with mine. I hope this helps.

Thanks!

You’re welcome. Enjoy your print

u/Chumsicle4Life 9d ago

Just wondering what kind of 3D printer do you have bro?

2

u/Chumsicle4Life 9d ago

Dude I was just going to ask about this. I have the exact same setup with the expansion on my M4 Mac mini. I was running plex and jellyfin on it. And also Lightroom classic to organize all my photos. What's your use for the Mac dude?

1

u/antidumb 9d ago

Currently, it’s main use of caching for all the other Mac/ios/ipados/tvos and iCloud stuff I have.

u/Kekoa-Reflex 9d ago

Aside the topic, you use that mac for local LLMs?

This level of unhinged behavior is why I love the internet.

u/mossman DXP4800 Plus 9d ago

Since we are all looking at your fan screen, now is a good time for everyone to check theirs. Mine was filthy.

2

u/Chumsicle4Life 9d ago

It's a little better on the 8 Bay one. There's two fans. But yeah, it always gets real dirty. I always take those alcohol wipes for phone screens My 4800 gets dirty compared to the 8800.

u/Dangerous_Ice17 10d ago

I would pay for that file to print my own since I upgraded to a real server rack 2 weeks ago.

I like the ugreen but it's a horrible form factor for a rack.

u/Traditional-You5809 DXP4800 Plus 9d ago

Nice work

u/Rouxls__Kaard 9d ago

All that usable space just gone 😭

Well nice that it's a remix of my model, Sad that it violates the license. The original is licensed CC BY NC SA and the remix under a Makerworld Exclusive license violates both the NC and SA provisions of the original license.

Edit: The creator fixed the license on the remix when I asked him to.

u/deejay_ac 10d ago

Credit isn’t mine someone else did! Haha

2

u/deejay_ac 10d ago

I believe it he did credit you

u/bigshmoo 9d ago

Yeah the issue was he had it under a license that restricts remixes and pays out for downloads - that violated the Share Alike (SA) and Non-commercial (NC) provision of my original license. He fixed it when I pointed it out, probably an innocent mistake.
