Let's try this again, but WITHOUT the sponsorship. There's building a MINI SERVER RACK and then there's beating Raid Owl in the mini server rack build challenge. Let's see if I can do both.

    No bias here at all but I think that Raid Owl guy won. Right guys??? Right...?
  • @Markobu4u
    Making mistakes is human. Making up for mistakes is truly a sign of strength. I really appreciate you taking criticism sincerely. It’s not self explanatory for content creators to admit or at least fixing their mistakes. So again huge probs to you taking the sponsorship out of the video!
  • @ranakanth
    I busted out laughing at "RGB to make it faster" in the intro 😂
  • @jasonperry6046
    I love the review. And I love the number of creators that are represented in this video.
  • @masrudyn
    What's the bill to set this up ? 🙂
  • “Need your computer cooled, put a little Noc Tua on that thang!”
  • @JordansTechJunk
    Nice! This is a cool setup if you're just messing around at home. I would argue it's the purest form of HomeLab. Low power, low cost, modern and relevant, takes up little space and probably quiet enough that the Mk.1 Wife Unit won't complain about "those damn fans in the basement". As you outgrow any single part its standard enough to upgrade.
  • @Mertin.Hansen
    Normally I just enjoy youtube without having opinions about sponsor etc. But I think Tim did the right thing here
  • @jwhy89
    What was the final price tag on this setup 💸💸💸
  • @djvincon
    Awesome and also great that you ditched the sponsor
  • @visura5149
    for anyone looking into getting this rack keep in mind that although does have standard size mounting holes for the screws that hold the trays standard 10" or half rack shelves will not fit between the posts. if you want metal shelves youre limited to the shelves deskpi sells. really wish they would make an addon kit or revision to make the rack hold standard 222mm equipment
  • I think you should name it "Portable Home Lab"...!!! That can be tucked into a vehicle and can do home labing on the go...!!! I have see your post about this on social media earlier but I don't know why this came up into my mind while I was just in the intro...!!!😂🤣😅😉
  • The technical and "fun" value of this built are clear. But what's the dollar price tag of this nice home lab?
  • @pallasgames
    Great video! I'd still love to see one of these in a wall mountable version.
  • @greenprotag
    Love it! I think there is something to be said about having a "home lab" or desktop multi-platform development stack directly on your desk. Looks like fun.
  • Nice video and rack. Check out a USB C trigger board. Get a couple of those and a GAN charger/power supply, and power multiple barrel jack devices off the same small GAN charger/power supply. Will save some space, help keep the cables tidy and use less outlets.
  • Fantastic video! Appreciate it @Techno Tim! Cheers!
