Homelab teardown
In the words of Ron Burgundy's brother, "We'll that deescalated quickly". I'm currently doing what most of us here are not doing, Tearing down my homelab to build it back up again with new, smaller, more power efficient and better hardware. The goal is to have all of this in one small case! Just one last pic before it gets unracked and sold/given away/recycled.

Top O' the rack switch is an Arista (forgot the model)

a Boxx Raxx with 2x liquid cooled Intel Gold 6240 CPU's and 512GB RAM, on a Supermicro X11DPG-QT motherboard. 4x 1TB NVMe on an Asus PCI adapter, 4x 2TB NVMe on another Asus NVME adapter, 8x 512GB SATA SSD's, LSI HBA for Truenas, Supermicro 40gbe NIC and a Nvidia 2080 Super. This was my PVE host, ran about 30 VM's with another 10 or so off and on at various times for testing.

a Huawei 1288H V5, 2x Intel Silver 6114 CPU's and 256GB RAM, 8x 1TB SATA SSD;s This was mostly used for random stuff, also esxi live on here for a while.
-
a NetApp 2246 24x 1.8GB SAS HHD's Used for archiving stuff, mostly off unless needed.

Another NetApp 2246 with another 24x 1.8GB SAS HHD's, filled with 17TB of music from when I was a sailor sailing the high seas.

NetApp 4246 with 12x 12TB HHDs on one pool and 12x 8TB on another. Used for all other storage, jellyfin, pve backups, audio bookshelf, tube archivist, home videos, personal stuff, Apple TM target, etc...

Cyberpower OR1500 UPS - VERY underpowered for what I have in the rack, but it's main job is to just protect against brownouts and if the power goes out for 2 minutes, pve and exsi start shutting down and the rack will be off by the time the UPS runs out of juice.
I wish I got a photo when it was powered on, but didn't think about it. Currently in the process of migrating to my new system, which should be done by next week.
(dont mind the mess in the background)
