Still no news on the building front, but some news on the gear front !
Even if the closet isn't finished, I started populating it.
I refurbished my old 2010 studio computer to a home-made NAS, powered by Unraid. I got for free, a few network gear that were just taking dust.
It's working now, and they will be racked in the future, with the computer, when I finish the closet. I was quite shocked at the noise produced by the router and the poe switch ! Even if I don't hear the noise in the studio, it's ****in' IT machine room noise in that closet, and I'll tame it down a bit by switching the fan with silent ones, just for the sake of comfort when going there.
Other things (not free) came in ...
