Built when Netflix first took away password sharing. Thanks for the heads up Netflix! Would not want to start this project now 😂
Looks like with the doors closed its going to be smokin.
i love the toxic kiddies on selfhost these days “its too hot the fans wrong” op explains and gets downvoted. whats the saying?, “not my circus not my monkeys”. if this is the energy your going to bring to this community go back to reddit and be a toxic pos there.
I’m choosing to focus on the positive comments, and giving info to those who doubt. In the end I know there’s a few people at least who saw this and got some inspiration for a fun project
You are a bigger person than I <3 what youre doing is a great solution to noise in a living space and if you have no thermal throttling its designed exactly fo what its intended for. Thanks for sharing you have given me some ideas for managing my own noise issues regarding homelabbing.
I just think no one’s really coming at it in a way they think it’s rude, and most had been out of concern, just worded rough. I definitely can be rough with my words sometime so I can’t be too mad. Also thanks for engaging ❤️ love you and all the lurkers following along
lolz that’s wayyyy too much emotional maturity for the internet. we need more of it :)
For those worried about temps. The cpu never goes past the 80s when being ran hard, and drive temps are comfortably in the 40s
Oh, and if anyone is curious on specs. This is my old gaming rig but it’s: I9 11900k Z590I Vision D ITX mobo 64gb memory The 16x lane is bifurcated to run: Intel a310 & Lsi 9305 16e into a hp dl380
Bet it’s quiet as fuck tho
There are two fans built into the cabinet. Temps stay nice and cool
I love that you’ve got this explanation because my first reaction was… Hot! Too… Hot!
It was a common comment after a few hours 😂 also looking forward to spaceballs the sequel!!
Me too! I hope they reference “the search for more money!”
Or spaceballs 3, the search for spaceballs 2
bro built an expensive radiator that hosts movies
Thankfully all either used, or bought before the Ai drive prices
Neat, an Intel GPU.
Thanks! For plex and frigate it’s been awesome. Also running tdarr to rencode everything to Av1 at 8mbs or less
Unless there are vents underneath, you might also want to flip that power supply around, so the fan’s on top.
One exhaust on top, and an intake on bottom. Temps are great 😊
Yeah but I bet they could be better because your intake/exhaust do not look like they can keep up with your CPU cooler. I would install bigger fans with a higher CFM, and remove the insulating foam padding.
OP has published his numbers and you still think you know better.
What a riot.
You’d 100% be wrong I’m sorry to say. With the way the setup is my temps are barely above what they would be outside the cabinet, with the benefit that it’s basically silent (it’s in my living room by necessity and I can’t hear it)
Sorry brother this makes me twitchy. Needs air.
OP posted his numbers and you think you know better.
Bet you’re fun at parties.
Ever just throw a hot pocket in there for a couple minutes?
Lol, it’s warm. Though thanks to the intake and exhaust built into the cabinet the tennis are great. I added what they currently are while it’s rencoding by library.
Excellent heat retention! Doubles as a stove top
There’s actually two fans built into the cabinet! Pulls more fresh air then if it were outside of it. 😎❄️
Damn, you have enough HDDs to host the whole netflix there.
Theres currently 110 tb of usable space. Got a bunch of 14tb drives when you could shuck them for 150 each
Good lord, 114!
And here I thought I was doing something at 10-20 TB.
You go!
Can we see it on the outside, closed?
Not op, but went snooping. Looks like it might be on the left.
That’s it! Though when I was first seting up my new place 😊 it’s on my comment history so I don’t think that’s snooping
Very cool, I have a similar set up and I can advice you that it will overheat if you close that cabinet
Not if there were a second fan hiding in there 😉
Had to check if this was the memes category.
Posted temps and specs if you were curious 😉 guessing you didn’t think I had more fans in the cabinet
I don’t get this setup. First you install a lot of sound proofing, then you install one fan that has to run near light speed to keep that computer cool.
I have an intake on the bottom pulling cold air, and the top is for exhaust. Both are 3000 rpm fans and together keep the tennis real low. I added the current tennis in a comment while it’s running full tilt
Are the fans quiet too?
They are! I also have a small sheet of foam on the wall behind the cabinet too to catch any sound leaking out, so all I get is a small hum
I very much agree with you - I would use more fans on the outside enclosure, possibly behind more barriers so the sound is never direct (it has to bounce off walls before getting out). Eg a vent cover on the outside or simply vents mounted inside the case (not directly on the outside hole).
(Possibly also keeping the positive pressure inside the enclosure for dust control.)However there might be an argument about HDD noise that is fairly particular to the drive models.
Maybe op just doesn’t like noisy HDDs & isn’t that bothered by fans (I centrally am more bothered by enterprise HDD noise than the noise of quality fans), so the solution is HDD-noise oriented (and I think it works in that regard).(And yes, I do pick my HDDs by noise too.)
We just have the file server in another room and use a mini itx pc slaved to the tv as a player with a bequiet psu
I think even just installing an intake would do wonders for this setup. A hole cut with a filter would be good, an additional fan directing air at the bottom would be even better. I’m assuming this PC case has some kind of intake / exhaust. Right now it’s prob just recirculating its own air. That single fan on the prob isn’t doing that much.
The intake is probably in the bottom.
This guy got it! Love you man
Yea exactly I mean for the outer case prob needs its own intake
I hate the sound of Disk Drives spinning up and clicking
They remind me of a coffee machine
