This is the third iteration of my homelab.
Im super proud of what I have so far as it’s been meeting all my needs sufficiently. Here is a full description of what I’m working with (Top to bottom):
Fully 3D-printed 10u, 10in rack, printed using PETG-GF and PETG-CF. MikroTik Cap AX : WiFi 6 access point HP ProDesk G5 400 : OPNsense router : i5-9500T, 32Gb DDR4, 2Tb NVMe MikroTik CRS310 : RouterOS switch : 8x 2.5GbE, 2x 10G SFP+ HP EliteDesk G6 800 : PVE compute node : i5-10500, 64Gb DDR4, 500Gb NVMe HP EliteDesk G6 800 : PVE compute node : i5-10500T, 64Gb DDR4, 500Gb NVMe HP EliteDesk G6 800 : Proxmox backup server : i5-10500T, 16Gb DDR4, 500Gb NVMe
- Aoostar WTR Pro : PVE storage node : Ryzen 7 5825U, 32Gb DDR4, 512Gb NVMe + 12Tb Seagate Exos X18
APC Back-UPS 1500 Pro : 1500VA/865W battery backup. Also using a Tapo P110M smart plug to monitor power usage. Raw power reading for entire rack is ~1.9Kw / day, or about 80Wh. All the EliteDesks are running Intel AMT and have a DP Emulator dongle plugged in, which allows me to remotely connect to them via KVM by using MeshCommander
Upgrades Planned:
- Prodesk will be switched out for a Lenovo M920Q (i7-8700T), which will have dual or quad 2.5GbE NIC. This will make the entire rack 2.5GbE. (ETA: next week)
- All elitedesks will receive a 2.5GbE Flex IO module to upgrade their NICs. I have one on the way since they are sold out everywhere (ETA: next week)
- Another 12Tb Exos drive for the NAS node, so I can run a ZFS mirror for redundancy
- I might relocate the MikroTik AP for better connectivity, since it’s intended to be ceiling-mounted.

I’m happy to answer any questions below.
