Comment on This is the back of my 10" Mini server rack -- Custom made 3D printed power modules for each server
LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoIt is pretty awesome, only real problem is that if you have to replace anything in the middle, you have to shutdown everything above it too.
That being said, it’s pretty fucking rad.

Yea I realised that is a limitation, but Eh I’d take that trade-off for the modularity and good looking backside.
It’s rare that you add/remove things, and technically you can just plug out the inside and only that server will go offline with the rest keeping power.

A homelab can accept a lot more downtime than a company that runs business off of a rack of servers.
A tradeoff between a sweet rack design for having to disassemble a little extra when replacing parts is a perfectly valid tradeoff for me.
Hell, most of us only run a single UPS, if any at all, which would have the same limitation.
