      Designing, and 3d printing.

      Its based on 3 1L PC’s with 2.5gb and dual 10g networking. I am still working on the storage solution as having SATA cables extending out the back is not working well, and I dont love relying on USB. I just ordered some backplanes for the 11.11 sale on Aliexpress in hopes that I can build a custom disk enclosure. Ideally I would take 4 PCIe lanes out on a mini SAS HD SFF-8639 and plug that right into the external enclosure and simply provide power and cooling at that point.

      With these 3 little low power servers I hope to be able to run a small cluster that can be powered for hours off UPS enabling me to get my family off Apple, Amazon, and Google.

        Wow, that’s awesome. Are you planning to share your plans on printables or similar?
