If anyone is still looking for a storage for their #HomeLab I can recommend this Lenovo D3284 with 84x 3.5" bays from here: https://www.ebay.de/itm/376604039129

And interestingly it even went down in price since November when I bought mine.

799 Euro + 140 Euro shipping - that 10% discount (with max 50 Euro) = 889 Euro.

That is 95,45 cheaper than what I've paid. (Note, no drives included).

Is there a HDMI Matrix Switch that can be controlled over the network, supports 2 outputs, 4k@60 and HDCP 2.3?

So basically something similar to this but a bit "newer"? (And ideally way less expensive)

Habt ihr Empfehlungen für einen lautlosen #Homelab Switch im 19" oder 10"-Format? Sollte zwecks VLANs Managed sein, wenn noch ein paar 10G-Ports dabei rausfallen wäre das perfekt.

Management overhead of vcf9 is kinda insane.

There is literally nothing running on this box except for all of the vcf9 management components (+2 DNS servers with alpine linux that I count as management infrastructure for this as well)

Maybe I'll try Harvester again after all. Even though it also had a lot of overhead it didn't have nearly as much...

Anyone know of a (cheap) blow-through ATX power supply that would fit into a 2HE case?

This case expects you to put one in that is "blow through front-to-back" style. I've not seen one of these power supplies for probably ever.

The rackmount case I've here is basically similar to this one here (but without the cutout holes on the top, but even if it had them they'd get covered by the case ontop of it anyway).

I got these cables as part of a bundle of "cables" a few years ago. Didn't notice up until now.
Do you See what's wrong with them?

Want to show one great PCIe expansion card for #HomeLab|s
This card here allows to put 4 NVMEs into a single half-height PCIE x16 (or two in x8; 1 in x4) slot.

Two go on the front and two on the back. The ones on the back MAY have clearance issues depending on how large the cooler on your NVMEs is. However as you've to slot it into a x16 slot in order to use these two anyway you're probably slotting it into the top most one so there shouldn't be another card in the way
