Like any homelab, my server rack is in a constant state of flux... equipment being moved around, servers being added and removed, but what do I actually use my server rack for? What hardware can I not live without? How much does it cost to run my server rack for a year? All of this and more will be answered in this latest tour of my Homelab.
