Wanted something completely separate from every thing else

@User has joined the channel

Weekend project just arrived. Been so impressed with my setup I'm gonna revamp my parent's house and remote manage since if something has electricity running through it and doesn't work somehow it always comes to me. This will be my first go with UniFi mesh APs.

Same here, right now I have one UAC Pro and the USG. At my basement I'm using a second AP but it is by aerohive. I rather go mesh. Wondering how it compare with Googles.

Mate. That looks slick! Like it.

PS. Those NVMe drives are rapid!!

Fan hole?

@Dave Brett: NVMe id next gen stuff, well worth the $100 extra

@Jarian Gibson: no fan holes, just 2 usb fans

Lesson learned @User 4mm flexi is no enough, but no problem in my case because of 8 PSU and case corners + power strip supporting the load. Next time 8 or 10mm

@Dave Brett: and an identical case coming your way. Will show it of at Synergy folks.

Hey what was that super flat NVMe x4 thing we were looking at before? I scrolled back but couldn't find it.

@User awesome. Sorting out a management Skull NUC to sub for nas at the mo, core dc and infra going on as well. Should be able to stay put in case and just keep things running 👍🏻

@User Qnap TBS-453A but wouldn't do NVMe, limit is 1GB. I went with 4x WD Blue 500GB SSD M2

@Dave Brett: sweet

You still like it @User even with the 1gbe NIC limit?

Yes it does work gr8, and I'm a Synology fan for decades. Did it because of low profile. Main purpose is sharing files & iscsi for unidesk lab (half of NUCs only have one 500GB SSD).

it may be almost worth doing a custom xeon d with sce300 case

use that as your master machine

if you have 10G in your kit

if you don’t then not worth it

I'm trying to get to 10g now that I have this Intel D.

Don't have 10G at the moment. Project for next year when switches gets smaller & cheaper. Unidesk sure would love 10G storage.

Yep I know ubnt is supposedly working on something

Smaller rj45 is the rumor

yeah mine are 6mm

the perspex makes all the difference in these things

I worked out by turning the powerstrip on its side I could balance the perspex on it for support

This looks awesome @User, amazing job...
