I'm starting a new thread for home lab pics in 2024, getting ready for the next giveaway - A $799 mini PC! Post a picture and specs of your home lab as it sits in 2024. We will be randomly choosing a winner from posters here in the forum with their home lab pics in a week or so after the next video.
Rules:
- Mini PC can only be shipped to a winner in the U.S. and Canada due to shipping costs
- You can post multiple pics to a single forum post and also comment on others posts, but the winner of the give away must post pictures and specs of his or her home lab
The mini PC (It runs VMware ESXi and Proxmox!!!)

Well my lab has been constructed with a combination of devices. I run Proxmox VE's serving up a variety of VM/s and CT's. I have two HP G3's running Proxmox in a high availability environment. I use an "old" Raspbery Pi Zero to provide quorum for the Proxmox HA. Another G3 functions a Proxmox backup server. An old Lenovo N22 runs Proxmox backup server and syncs to the primary backup server. I also use Tuxis Cloud for an off site backup.
In the photo the top shelf is home for the Lenovo backup server. Next down is an 8 port switch and the Proxmox Backup Server. Next down is the Raspbery Pi mini rack (only running one to provide quorum) and the second Proxmox VE finally the bottom shelf is for a Chromebox and the primary Proxmox VE server.
This has been running for a year now without issues. Thanks for considering, I sure would like to Beelink Sei14
