any reason for it to be mounted on the ceiling/pipes, in a cardboard box?

[nerdatwork]

I suspect cats/pets but I too want to know now.

You win the most interesting rig award.

[HGPlays]

Well yes. This is in My parents House and i needed it to be out of the way (Its in the room Where they wash clothes).

And My dad was Like: “if you are gonna do your servers in My House, make sure i cant turn them off”

So Yea - Weird setup, but No one sees it so kinda perfect

2x supermicro servers with 60 x SAS 8TB drives

[deathlessdd]

Don’t remember if I posted my updated rigs

[stuberman]

Nicely done!

How much have you filled that so far? (480 TiB raw?)
I am closing in on 15TiB stored data for the last 18 months.

[pauldualsim]

The sure aren’t going to see it after it burned the house down. I’d prefer a metal computer case just for peace of mind…

[HGPlays]

Cardboard wont burn at 40 degress without a flame first lol

[twl]

A burning capacitor can however reach a bit above 40 degrees

[HGPlays]

Hmm true. Maybe i should look for another box

[pdwelly]

That’s a lot of riser cards in the top!!

[pauldualsim]

yeah , i did setup of an eth mining rig also

[Vadim]

Eth can be mined up to end of year may be some tome more, but it go to Eth 2.0 then no mining?
so why invest to it?

[pauldualsim]

its gpu mining u can always change to any coin bitcoin,etc … and who said invested … already had em for years !

How many nodes do you run on that pi? 6?

[andrew2.hart]

9 storagenodes but it is mostly chia plots (60TB)

[SGC]

was curious about what happens if one had to many dust particles in the air… and had some demo work to do… gave it a round of concrete dust from a demo saw.

so far “only” two disks randomly spat out 150 errors and got disconnected from the raidz
not sure if that was from electrical disruptions due to me using big power tools or the dust…

does seems rather interesting that two disks would randomly start having issues, first one was within 24 hours and second one was while trying to scrub after resilvering…
both disks worked fine again afterwards, tho did have to reseat the first one…

slowly ramping up my gear, so want to understand the does and don’t…
really starting to understand the main priorities of datacenters lol
