Built when Netflix first took away password sharing. Thanks for the heads up Netflix! Would not want to start this project now 😂

Seems cozy
Looks like with the doors closed its going to be smokin.
The one fan in the left will do the trick
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 for 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 :)
thanks for sharing, nicely done, would love a video or dB reading. noise wise, my rack doesn’t get too bad running mini-itx boards and quadro p2200s; my gaming rig, on the other hand, could benefit from this. SFF case with a deshrouded rx 6650 xt and 80mm server fans from arctic (max 8000rpm). it sounds like a jet engine spinning up when i play anything, despite the 3000rpm limit i put in fan control.
aside, would you mind sharing your av1 settings? i currently pass everything through ffmpeg to mkv in an attempt to save space with my plex library
For those worried about temps. The cpu never goes past the 80s when being ran hard, and drive temps are comfortably in the 40s


You left in your IP no0b! Now I’m gonna pwn your server with my super hacker skillz xoxoxoxo
P.S. That’s is one hell of a setup! I am surprised how well ventilated it is
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
What’s your electric bill look like each month?
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.
Not sure if stroke or just above my head.
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
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
Bruh your gonna need a blower so loud it totally obliterates that sound protection.
The whole setup is really quiet actually! The cabinet has an intake fan hiding on the bottom, while the top fan is just exhaust. Then all the fans in the system are built for front to top exhaust. I posted temps while the system is running full tilt of you were curious
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
Oi. I had mine in my hall closet, looks a lot like yours, including the Noctua cooler and stack of hard drives. In spite of adding a vent to the top of the closet door, and a big gap at the floor it still got too hot. I ended up moving it to the spare bedroom.
You gotta do push pull. There’s another fan on the bottom of the cabinet pulling in fresh, while all the hot air is directed up and out. Tennis are more stable then my gaming rig sitting 5 feet away in the open air.
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 😉
