Only the one on the top is in use, and as of right now I only have one of the bottom two (gave the other away to a co-worker. If anyone on here is in the Cleveland Ohio area and could use a Cisco UCS C220 M3 for their homelab, reach out.

Unit in use is a Cisco C220 M5SX with 2x Xeon Gold 6132 (56 total threads) and 768GB RAM, 4x 1.2TB SAS drives.

Note: The last Pic is when I installed my 10gb switch, but I was still waiting for my DAC cables to arrive. All my servers are using 10gb at this point. Also, I should note that the cable management isn’t great… I’m in the process of moving to mikrotik switches. So I have a few misc cables that are out of place currently as I’m migrating/testing things.

Y’all have fancy labs.

All I have is a HP dl380 Gen8 sitting sideways between my desk and my wife’s desk. Its use is now eveng for ccnp studies.

Same! (Although mine might be a G7, forget). What specs are you running in there? Mine has become grossly underpowered for basically anything compared to the electricity it uses, so I haven’t turned it on in ages.

2x Xeon E5-2650 8x 16Gb ram (128 total) 2x 600GB 10K SAS

Thinking of upping the CPU and getting more drives though.

My wife calls it the noise machine for obvious reasons during booting.

This is my homelab.

I7 Intel NUC

Some ubiquiti gear and raspberries.

In my basement, next to the Ethernet patch panel… OpenMediaVault on an old HP ProDesk G3 with lots of Docker containers.

Just a 6TB WD Red+ HDD in the HP, backing up daily to a matching 6TB in an external USB HDD enclosure.

Random network switches lighting up most of the CAT6 ports around the house. My Google Nest router & T-Mobile 5G internet gateway are upstairs.

Nice setup! Someday I will end up with a UDM-Pro...someday.

Now THIS is more my style of cable management

Nice setup - I’ve been at eying the nanopi r4s for a while to use as fw.

I like it. I’m currently working with a GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2.

VPN and QoS out of the box have been nice. Haven’t spent much time on it but couldn’t figure out prioritization. (eg use Hotel Wifi and fail over to USB cellphone - but I also think channel bonding was more what I was after.)

I’m currently eyeballing a mini PC to run Speedify on to get a more redundant connection and have that connected to the router.

I would also like 5ghz as I sometimes like to Steam connect to my PC. But I can probably live without it.
