Building my NEW homelab & multimedia setup! | Part 2

[@OriginalNoseBleed]

I think the 48 port would have looked cleaner in-between the 2 patch panels

[@murderbymusic12]

@@OriginalNoseBleed 10000% that’s how we all our racks always a patch top and bottom with 6” patch cables

[@techbymidas]

Without a doubt! I didn't see that until now so I'll be making the switch 100%

[@jonathanfrederick1644]

I second this!

[@tamaskovats]

you're introducing more latency - along with added costs - to the system by installing RJ45 SFP modules in-between the units. for the price of 1 transciever you can buy a complete SFP+ DAC cable. /CC

[@robertthomson1994]

I highly suggest getting another 4 post shelf for the marantz, that thing is sagging quite a bit more than I'd like to see in mine. Other than that awesome and decked out rack build

[@techbymidas]

Great eye! I told Ty about that but he said it should be fine. I'm definitely making the switch for peace of mine haha!

[@PenguinCinema]

This might be a dumb question, but don't you gotta point the remote at that receiver? How do you control the receiver and the PS5 if they're in the server closet?

[@jdls12]

Would love to have this done in my new home build next year. So much more convenient and clean.

[@techbymidas]

Yessir! 🙌🏾

[@Nosjamesmenzer]

Midas i seen you have a bunch of devices that would work well together and I would like to recommend that is your wanting to adda smart home systems look into home assistant them you can make sure that you take full control of all of your devices that you have in your rack and house Home assistant is very easy to use if you set it up Wishing you good luck in your home lab journey

[@TyDaSpace]

Home Assistant runs on top of the Unraid server as a docker container. He's been using it for a while. and yes, HA is awesome.

[@smazerolle]

Looks good, I recommend putting the switch between the two patch panels for an even cleaner look.

[@brentcox6201]

clean AF, love how everything is centrally located

[@jig1056]

Bro, this is so dope, y’all do a incredible job. I’m definitely jealous lol. Also big up to your brother, because doing this for yourself is a labor of love but doing this for someone else is torture 😂 I’m so happy I found your channel, I instantly subscribed

[@techbymidas]

Thanks bro, appreciate the love! and you're damn right that having my bros help was invaluable 🙏🏾

[@Jude_Zilla]

the LED strips definitely puts a pop on the server! curious to know what prompted you to go for an open instead of a closed rack? this will definitely need a follow up video a few months from now on how thermals are going and power consumption. Amazing video!

[@JeffHays-q4h]

I highly suggest splitting the switch and dream machine. In my business racks it's always patch panel, switch, patch panel, switch. Gives the switches some airflow as the newer switches are fanless and need some help keeping cool. As someone who has recently dealt with overheating issues on my Denon (lower end Marantz) I VERY highly recommend putting some space between the AVR and the Playstation. Just my 1.5 cents worth. Good luck

[@techbymidas]

Appreciate the tip! This is the way forward forsure :)

[@HadiSOA]

Damn now your making me question whether or not I should do something similar for myself... You made it perfectly in my opinion and not only does it have functionality but it is also visually very nice.

Amazing setup, I cant wait to see and hear more about it!

[@craigsmestad6952]

Very nice job!

[@Oliver.D.S.H.]

Hi, Midas great video great job it looks great. :) can i ask what you use the router for when you have an UDM it would server you better to have AP'S diffrent places in the house :)

We want to see a PoE security cameras and their storage, as well as a backup storage server.

[@vaper1986]

Amazing setup, nice clean work!

[@techbymidas]

Thanks a lot!

[@stepmback]

Put your switch between the two patch panels.

[@techbymidas]

Great advice! Thanks, I'll be implementing it for sure 💯

[@puntjah]

What are the products you mounted at the top which are used to mount the cables coming in from the ceiling? Are those normal cat-extenders which you then mount or is it a specific product? Do you have any (affiliate) link?

[@TyDaSpace]

just velcro and screws.

[@annoyedlemon]

did you have issue with the rack looking a crooked i have the same rack mine is a bit crooked even when the main bolts are tight ive tried to fix it with no luck

[@TyDaSpace]

LOL.. funny enough we ran into that during the build. Midas kept saying the rack was crooked but I didn't see it. If I remember correctly I think it turned out to bean issue with what post goes where and tightening the bots it fixed it.

[@kid_rajah]

I suggest looking into separating your media into another 48U Rack. I guarantee your network and your media will grow so why not. Great job especially getting cob rgb over traditional rgb.

[@techbymidas]

Appreciate the suggestion! I'll definitely keep that in mind for a future upgrade. 🙏🏾

Cleaning Mix = Water + Spirit + Soap + Tupentine WHITE METHYLATED SPIRIT = For cleaned surface to dry fast. TURPENTINE = To disolve and remove hard or deep stains SOAP = Removal of simple dirts WATER = Base liquid for the mix The mix works excellent but must be proportionate with minimal turpentine.

Appreciate the tip! I'll have to give that a try. 🔥

This would be excellent for my multimedia production company that would have to process data at hundreds of locations, process streaming for hundreds of locations, process zoom meetings at for hundreds of locations and allow database storage management in synchronization with all my equipment choices and app choices where I have tens of thousands of devices on a private network where the company has multimedia production content, films, music video content, music streaming content and a sales network.
