Built my first homelab.
Top to bottom:
- just a gigabit switch
- thinkcentre running immich and adguard
- hp elitedesk mini with a bunch of cable adapters to attach 6 hdds, the ssd and an nvme m.2 drive
- 2x 3 bay drive enclosures with a sfx power supply. The power supply is turned on by a modified add2psu to be able to trigger it with the sata port of the elitedesk.
The frame is built with some aluminium extrusions to make it more or less mini rack sized
Could use some cleanup. But thats just aesthetics.

Those wheels look heavier duty than the ones on my Compaq 24u rack, lol.
A lot of times the larger diameter wheels are actually a fair bit weaker than smaller ones, especially when the larger ones include rubber coating etc.
They sure roll over a tiny speck of dust better though

Oh and what are the blue led boxes at the bottom?
2 chieftec 3bay encolsures. Two enclosures and a sfx power supply fit nicely into the mini rack
