Multiple Builds

[kilcmd]

First time doing this, and the anxiety level already went up...

Cool let me see if I can get over it, and slowly build this up.   

 

=====================  The Back Story lolz bare with me on this i'm trying ===========================

 

Common things I have running in the room. 

  - Gaming Rig:  Vm Prep Environment / Web Design - Dev /  Programming - Pen, studies "slowly fading" / Gaming cause let's be real lol.  

  - ESXI: Svrs (2 Linux, 1 Win)   

 

Gaming Rig:    Corsair 240 Air, 6700k, Vegeance LPX 3200, ROG Strix OC 1070, Rog V Gene Viii Everything Corsair after this....... lol 

ESXI: Mac Pro... Don't shoot me...   8 core Dual Xeons, 10 Gig ECC.   Trust This pretty much was put to an end, and i'm now using that thing as a support stand for the 4th monitor "Images will show the 4th lol, try to imagine how i hooked a Kento stand to a macpro lol.  

 

 

 

 

==============So that went out the window, when a friend decided to bribe me for the parts lol. ===============

Upgrade dubbed: Khali my new girl.  

 

spec:

8700k

32 ddr4 

Rxt 2080 ti aorus extreme 

Aorus Master

970 pro 1tb (OS or Critical Soft

960 pro 256 (Vm's Testing)

2tb Samsung SSD (Gaming)

 

So time to pull the table out, and get to work. 

 

 

 

 

 

=======================Now what's coming i blame my 420 moments of watching Linus like the rest of us ==================

 

But brotha I can't afford the same juice as you, cause Protocase loosing their minds for what their charging to make your case, so I opted for something simpler: 

 

 

 My wife's build, more on that later, and my case is downstairs along with the 1/2 racks.  

 

Then things got interesting... thanks to my wife's job, from an simple router switch to: 

 

 

  Before I used the Macpro as a stand....After...

Update: 

Server racks started coming in, but the fun part was when wifey's parts started arriving.  

The Noctua's, and the Ram showed up.  

So after I had finish dropping the board in, at 2am I got started on the fan wall.  Too much excitement lol.  

 

 

mtc.... 

 

[kilcmd]

I was able to setup the network up and running, and adopted all the switches and the AP.  

[kilcmd]

Started prepping wifey's machine's, and her desk.   

I also got started on the ups, and the rack.  

 

[kilcmd]

My Rack arrived 

24u from Tripp-lite.   

Took it apart to bring it up stairs.  

[Guest]

I love everything about this.

[kilcmd]

Started taking my setup apart, and moving to the side. 

 

 

Let's be real I smoke, and wasn't going to remember of the top what port I had programmed to what so quick pic called it a day lol. 

 

God fearing of taking my machine apart, I figure let me get my case ready. 

 

 

 

 

I was curious and slightly "baking a cake", when I was like there too much silver/chrome on this machine. 

[kilcmd]

Quick Trip to Homedepo.. 

 

 

 

 

I did a couple of test shots, and then went for it. 

 

I think the finish came out good, considering thats the reflection of the ceiling lol. 

 

 

 

What happen next took every fiber in my body to not cringe through. 

[kilcmd]

 

 

[kilcmd]

Well with all good plans, I hit the wall a few times, including having to swap the rad, I still manage to fit a push pull.  

 

Trying to keep it clean, trying is the word. 

 

 

 

Fired her up, just to make sure nothing went terrible wrong.  Thankfully the operation went well, and the engine was moved to the new chassi.

Sound amazing, but that comes with the type of fans that you use.  "Noc, or Cors". 

In terms of air flow, is hard to beat server cases  like this one or similar style.  (3x 120mm front, 2x 80mm back, and you can go ballistic with that fan wall from 3 to 6 depending how you mount them. 

 

There's a dude called JDM_WAAT on youtube as well, he did a Anniversary build I believe it was the same case. 

He went with 2 Evga's Hydro blocks, on a dual xeon.  

 

Hope it helps. 

[dogwitch]

it does.

[kilcmd]

Gonna have to take the ups from wifey rack out, which sucks.  Dam thing makes me regret not hitting the gym more.

Yeah I think it can run Minecraft

[kilcmd]

Threw a nuc on the rack, currently learning how to run my on web server without having to pay someone like godaddy. 

So far so good, I managed to tie the host from no-ip to it and it's working great online.  

Never done it before so I thought it was cool to have a dedicate server for my own personal page project.   

I ran it first on a vm, before any changes to the Nuc. 

Manage to get:

 

Apache

Mariadb

Php

Wordpress

 

So far so good, I'm sure to some that stuff is easy.  

But hey better late than never right lol.  

 

 

I'm building the site as more as a fun project, that I can use to help me learn and develop my self pace in web design and dev.   

I use to be a huge fan of the movie hackers, since it kinda started me into tech.  Soooo... lol.  

 

I figure if i'm having fun during a personal project, it'll just keep motivating me to keep learning.  

So far i'm getting html, and css done.   After I think i'm suppose to be aiming for php or better JS which has been catching my eye for sure.  

[kilcmd]

My new upgraded main server just came in.  Specs will follow. 

CANNOT WAIT TO DROP ESXI ON IT LOL

[kilcmd]

And yeah it does come in a crate. lol

We both inspected it.  

[kilcmd]

Ended up using this little guy, and it worked like a charm. 

 

 

I threw the server on the top of the rack and ran a short line, to test the server and do some of the initial setups. 

 

 

Didn't take long. 

[kilcmd]

Now that the sever is up, I started working on the bucket-list made from linu's show and other things i'm interested in.  

 

Started with the move obvious, cause we have a few gamers living the same home lol. 

 

 

From setting up the machine both me and my wife remote into, when doing work with application we don't feel like paying more than one license for.  

 

 

Finally learn how to add and Iscsi the Synology box with the ESXi.  This is where the vm for the steam cache server resides, to that that the synology box is responsible for protecting it.   At best on my end now all i need to do is make sure I keep my snap shoots, and maintain the registration to the vm on the right directory.  

 

I started knocking services out of the Synology box, specially the plex server to move it. 

Picked up some cheap key's, and other than the site being a bit buggie so far so good.  

 

 

A couple of frineds of mines, and my self decided to learn about bug bounty and learn as a group and maybe try it to see how we enjoy it.  As well as giving us a chance to hang out and help eachother as we learn.   I hated the idea of using discord, cause honestly I just can't stand knowing i went from a privately own/ran Teamspeak server to a public server, where people come and go... Maybe is just me, but if it gives me a chance to learn something new why not.   

 

So I went online, and found about rocketchat, and lord be-hold is a part of the ubuntu svr install, and to boot I get the wormhole all in one shot why not. 

 

 

Server is up, and is working so far and i know it's not pointing out to the web.   

But considering i'm not interested in the world jumping on to this thing, i was thinking of a quick and dirty solution.  

 

Meet the quick and dirty solution, I hope will finish that up.  

Hope fully things go well, it's for fun i'm not getting paid, and honestly I could just be on the streets doing something stupid....right? 

Stay home go 420 levels, and get on the machine like a punching bag.... 

 

All for now.

Mtc....

If you've got room I'd suggest picking up one of these for your cloud key gen 2 https://store.ui.com/collections/accessories/products/cloud-key-g2-rack-mount-accessory.
