December 30, 20196 yr My little 15u setup: From the top down: Shelf: D-Link DKVM-4U KVM switch AC Infinity Airplate T3 fan controller for the rack fans PFSense Firewall/Router: Supermicro SuperServer 5018A-MLTN4 Intel Atom C2550 16GB DDR3 1600 PNY 120GB SSD BV-Tech POE Switch (not in service) TP-Link JetStream Smart Switch T1700G-28TQ Netgear ProSafe GS724TPS POE Smart Switch HP 1u KVM Console CyberPower PR1500LCDRT2U Unraid server: NORCO RPC-4224 Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 850W PS GIGABYTE Z370XP SLI Intel Core i7-8700 32GB DDR4 2400 2x LSI SAS 9207-8i Intel RES2SV240 expander Mellanox MNPA19-XTR 10Gb network card 2x Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD 12x WD 8TB 3x Toshiba 6TB 1x Toshiba 5TB 1X WD 4TB 1x WD Purple 3TB unassigned for the Blue Iris DVR All fans have been swapped out for Noctuas, except for the stock CPU cooler in the server and the AC Infinity fans I swapped into the rack. I've added 20mm fans to each card in the server just to be sure they'll stay cool and quiet. I left the stock cooler in place as the CPU isn't taxed very often or for very long when it is. Docker containers: CrashPlanPro mariadb nextcloud NginxProxyManager piwigo Virtual machines: Ubuntu - which runs the EAP Omada controller software which controls the two TP-Link EAP245 wireless APs Windows Home Server 2011 - For backing up my Windows Clients and runs my torrent and SABnzbd clients along with Subsonic for remote music access. I'll move it all eventually to dockers, but it works pretty darned good so I leave it alone. Windows 10 - Blue Iris host for monitoring and storage of eight 5MP POE cameras and two wireless. Windows 10 - Playing around with it for when I eventually have to move from W7
February 23, 20206 yr Nice setup! Mind asking how is the 10Gbps card, Mellanox MNPA19-XTR running? Did you had to do any adaptations in order to get it to work with unRaid?

December 6, 20214 yr This is pretty awesome! Was just trying to browse to see if there was like a cool rigs section or something to see what people have accomplished with their unRAID setups. I have to start planning for the future, and I'm not sure another tower is the right answer, so may look at some sort of server chassis like you've done.
December 6, 20214 yr Maybe something like this for another tower: http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-719.html
December 6, 20214 yr Author Depends on your needs, I guess. I moved from towers and routers and drive cages on a shelves to consolidating everything into the rack cabinet to keep everything together and looking nice and neat
