Perhaps not silent, but the noise is less than from a similar-sized fridge, perhaps. I disabled those while measuring the ambient temperatures and didn’t see a radical difference. The 4U rack chassis had two boisterous fans pushing hot air out towards the glass door. For one, the microphone that I use doesn’t pick ambient noise, so that’s thankfully not a factor here. Initially, I was a bit reserved about how noisy the rack cabinet might be, as I am sitting next to it all day long in my home office. Sometimes I need to tinker with the server, and access to the rear ports has been handy. I’ve grown to like the fact that it’s mounted on wheels. It’s an 18U rack, and it fits neatly next to my home office work desk: Empty panels, that hide a few devices: a UPS device, the Philips Hue bridge, power sockets.Panel to host four Raspberry Pi’s in a cluster.Ubiquiti Networks Unifi 48-port switch with 10 Gbps uplinks.Ubiquiti Networks Unifi UDM-Pro: firewall, remote management, WAN connectivity.Empty 1U panel (mostly to give some breathing room for the network devices below).4U custom server, that runs my Plex, Hyper-V virtual machines, and other random utilities.Synology DS1821+ NAS device, with an external 2 TB HDD for ad-hoc backups.The setup has now been running for a few months without any issues. I’ve progressed further with my project by adding the 4U dedicated server, the Raspberry Pi cluster, and cleaning everything up. Thanks for reading my blog!
