Did you see they have a half height mini rack now!? What's next, a 1U mini 10" rack? lol My wheels are turning, thinking of building like 'Homelab, 3 ways' with three of these things.
Network racks are configured differently from server racks. For server racks, you'll want to mount the switches and patch panels on the back of the rack. That way, the switch ports can easily connect to the servers which have their networks ports facing the back. Typically, you put the patch panel at the top and use them for connections outside of the rack. The switch(s) are next. These are called Top of Rack (TOR) switches. Servers are below the network gears. UPS are at the bottom since they are heavy. Power outlets can be in the rack or vertical, facing the back. Network racks have switch ports facing the front.
10 inch rack is definitely not a gimmick! I have a small apartment and there would be no way I could store a full size 19" rack. It lets me keep my gear organized. I have some basic network equipment (patch panel, switch, cable modem, router) and a few Rasberry Pi's all packed into a single 10" cabinet. I love it.
I have a fully 3D printed 10" rack that I designed to fit perfectly in an IKEA usit, have two rpis, a switch and my router in there and it works a dream.
Great job, Colton. I really like the way it came out. This is what homelabbing is all about. You are a great inspiration for the next generation of tinkerers.

New intro music!! Thanks for an awesome year good sir.
it's quite the coincidence that you upload this!! over the last week or so, i've actually begun working on an entire ecosystem of 3D-printable modules for various different components and setups that are all of a standardised shape and thus all fit into a serious ton of bays on an equally 3D-printable chassis, that can then be racked or placed standalone. in my year or two of homelabbing, i've always found that my 'perfect case' hasn't really existed, so i figured i'd not only try to make mine, but help others find theirs too :)) i've never really done a project much like this before, but it's looking good from here!!!
Excellent video as always (great intro btw). The idea of a 10" rack seems excellent especially when you don't have a lot of space. The only thing that is missing for me is some more space at the back to manage the cables. Maybe a rack with a larger back could accommodate that.
Dude I've been eyeballing one of those jet kvms lately. 3d modelling has been a learning curve for me too. Goal is to be a fusion 360 wizard like no one ever was.
I think the 10" minilab with 3d printing is extremely fun and fits with a less serious approach to messing with this sort of stuff. I am having a blast with mine and I have barely configured any software on it 😅
Omg, this is the one video, i was look for and acutally researching, how to cram my current nas, router, RPI and switch in a 10" rack, thanks you sooo much!
I just came up with the idea of creating a 1U-sized PDU unit, capable of providing multiple 12V or 19V DC power outputs with a single AC cable, at around 200W capacity, for integrated power management.
i love my 10", I have my 16u 19" sort of hidden out of the way and the 10" is on a bookshelf in the center of the house. one day i hope to have a full 10" rack solution but for now i need somewhere to mount my brand new dream machine SE and Dell poweredge.
OMG so now I need to ask Santa for 3D printer and a rackmate T1 and I will be golden. I tried doing something similar last year but gave up due to a lack / cost of 10 inch parts. But a 3D printer seems to have solved a lot of this. Amazing video so fun to watch and got me thinking for next year.
24:20 maybe you can have 1 pc powersupply and find a way to plug it to all the devices, at most you will need a power converter. check the labels, it should be possible. and it will look waaay cleaner
I wonder if you can centralize the power. Like using a flex atx psu and breaking out power to each device. It would cut down on the cables and power bricks.
My biggest problem with the rackmate was that it uses imperial screws. I'm used to all rack gear being M6, I still haven't figured out how imperial screw sizing works, let alone which ones the rackmate uses.
Hummm, now if only they made the rack as deep as it is wide. And then if little switch/router/device makers changed to using USB-C PD to power them.... or get some USB-C to barrel jack adaptors, there are a couple of places you can get them, i think they are made by Adafruit.
24:05 ...Yeah that wiring is rather janky. I think the assumption with a 10-inch rack is the overwhelming majority of devices you're going to install are going to have their watts supplied by either PoE or USB PD. Perhaps you can do a collaborative video with someone on converting most the devices installed in that rack to either PoE or USB PD.
Another awesome video! Always looking for more ways to use my Bambu X1C. I backed the JetKVM some time ago (still waiting to get it), so I am super interested in printing the JetKVM/Asustor Switch model you showed in the video, but I didn't see it linked in the description. Maybe I missed it, but if not, is it possible to link to that file? Thanks for the continuous great content!
5:10 those screws are then stainless. Which is great itself. But horrible if that rack is made out of aluminium. Plus skip the 3d printer commercials, I'm on verge to unsubscribe..

Wait what? Do you have a link?
@@HardwareHavenMy other comment went missing probably because I put a link, but it's called the rackmate T0
Only four videos in and he's upgrading the rebuilt homelab.
Having a homelab/NAS channel is a big deal to keep suspense.

please share the photo of your rack
@@jtpro2572 Where should I?
I’d also be interested in seeing
@Caplonky5 maybe on your channels community post
You could cut out in between the two holes in the itx pc and then put a small OLED screen there, which will show the status of the array.
Put a multi output variable power supply in the bottom and get rid of the individual PSU's.
Great job, Colton. I really like the way it came out. This is what homelabbing is all about. You are a great inspiration for the next generation of tinkerers.

Watching someone share how they've had fun for the past few days is the best kind of video

20:39 Channelling some Tina Belcher there 👓
Dsmn the intro is gold
Thanks!
Will you do a video on the b580 on hardware transcoding?
Possibly! I’m definitely curious. Genuinely considering one as an upgrade for my wife’s PC
i like the minecraft music in the intro
Not sure why I never considered this. Now I’m thinking about taking this one step further and designing and printing the 10” rack itself.
Awesome video. I love 10" homelab racks. I hope it becomes a standard.

Looks really cute!
Ah, a fellow Pinecil + USB-C PD powerbank user. 😃👍
Can’t believe it took me so long to figure it out, but what a combo! Haha
haha once i saw jeff's review and he said mini itx i had this exact idea
Things I learned today from RUclips. 256 is greater than 254. AMAZING I feel so much smarter LOL :)
The math checks out. This is fun
24:20 maybe you can have 1 pc powersupply and find a way to plug it to all the devices,

Nice work!
just saw a video yesterday on the mini rack and order me one & look... u did a video and yeah had same idea as you ;)
this looks great from the front, its a shame you cant get cables the exact length needed on the back to tidy it all up
My biggest problem with the rackmate was that it uses imperial screws. I'm used to all rack gear being M6, I still haven't figured out how imperial screw sizing works, let alone which ones the rackmate uses.
The rack is on sale for $159 right now
My university does free 3d printing and I'm about to make so many things and get one of these fr
30:10 you taught we will not see these gridfinity bins did you👀👀
1:55 - I read that as "tech notim" at first 😳
Thanks!
New video of Hardware Haven!!!!
looks very networky at the back haha, jokes aside looks like a fun little project.
m.2 to 6 sata adapter would work with that hp elitedesk
It looks like it does but can you confirm if the handles at the top of the rack can be removed please?
Remove some of the module and this basically a modular NAS 😂
This is a super fun video and in my opinion all what homelabing and hardware tinkering is all about!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Hummm, now if only they made the rack as deep as it is wide.
And then if little switch/router/device makers changed to using USB-C PD to power them.... or get some USB-C to barrel jack adaptors, there are a couple of places you can get them, i think they are made by Adafruit.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I thought I had minecraft opened when C418 music was the intro
but are they really upside down when the switch is the same way?
I love it!
5:33 is Colton a Valterri Bottas fan?
Thanks for the heart on my comment. Keep up the good work!
You're welcome! And thanks for watching.
24:05 ...Yeah that wiring is rather janky.

Minecraft music was very soothing
So much effort...
Worth it!
non magnetic screws are more durable than magnetic screws
I just realized that you have audio on my native language 😂 but I do prefer the original audio instead 😅 it's so much better
YAY! My fav Home Laber! 420 up and learn some shiznit! 😎😎😎
sO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS SMALLER IS BETTER THAN BIGGER?
It’s all about how you use it, right?
Just not a fan of the io of the motherboard being at fgs front
Nice looking give me an idea for real..
since when did he use minecraft music for the intro? edit: that answers my qusetion
Hahaha just because I felt like it was a good vibe for this one
18:15 DOGGO!

Hi
Great use of AI... lol
nice rack
wow this is a grate video iv been wanting to lurn more and build my own home server
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh!
First from the Caribbean ! Hardware Haven FTW!
I agree! Birds are NOT real
First
new video!!!
First
