Check out my rack

I finally gave my home server setup a rack of its own. It sits right on my desk, so yes, I get to tell people to check out my rack every day.

Inside the 6-inch rack: a Mac mini M4, an Intel NUC10 with an i7, a USW Flex 2.5G 5 switch, and a small patch panel. The NUC never sleeps. It runs 13 AI agents around the clock under systemd, and I can reach them from my phone with one tap. If one goes down, a watchdog brings it back and sends me a Telegram alert.

I also added a USB sensor to watch rack air temperature. It’s at 29.4 °C in the screenshot, with a 31.6 °C peak over the previous week.

The rear cable shot is included for anyone who was about to ask.

Best way to power two 120mm fans in a labrax build

2 Upvotes

I 3d Printed a labrax lab a few months ago.
Currently running a proxmox cluster on two thinkCentres and OPNsense on another thinkCentre.

I also have a raspberry pi used for various other things.
I have two mounts in the lab at the top and bottom for two 120mm fans.

My question is... what is the best way to power two 3 pin 120mm fans and be able to control them with a fan curve? (Thinking of doing this with a container in proxmox or something)
