Hardware

My homelab consists of a variety of hardware equipment between networking and computing power that powers all the applications needed to be run inside it:

Most of this stuff is placed in the garage on an old IKEA TV stand that I had in my previous home. The cabinets are filled with cables and other misc. hardware and I have a screen that I plug on every computer there. Should probably think about getting a PiKVM or similar setup. I prefer to have everything on the garage because it's the coldest room in the house and I avoid having to deal with the noises.

The setup is a bit messy, case didn't fit the disks inside so they are outside, I plan to 3D print some case to put them on, but in the meantime they are on top of some cardboard boxes to keep vibration to a minimum.
