How it started: mp80
I bought a MiniPC (Blackview MP-80) to run Home Assistant and some lights etc. to go with it.

It's now exactly one year later this is what my setup looks like now:
BMAX B2 Pro --> Home Assistant OS Blackview MP-80 --> Proxmox --> Nextcloud-AIO & Immich
ODROID H4+ --> Proxmox --> TrueNAS

How it's going: odroid
With the heatwave in Europe I've now installed cooling to keep my HDD's from heating up.

I know it's Janky as hell, but I love it. The plan going forward is to buy a 3D Printer so that I can 3D Print a custom 10" rack, and I'll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system with ESP32 and create a dashboard for it in Home Assistant and sorting out networking.

It's a work in progress, having a lot of fun learning and adding new things.

That's beautiful but I don't understand why two pair of cables go into the fan (is that a PSU?) and only one yellow wire comes out. Also where the motherboard. Need answer

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The black box is the mini PC (note the Ethernet cable going into it) and the yellow/red/black cable is a single SATA power cable, that is daisy chained. Going from the PC to the drive and then going back to the fan control board

Edit: looks like it's actually 3 SATA cables. Not daisy chained

It's 3 SATA power cables yes, plugged into the H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

And is that an Ethernet cable going into what looks like PSU? (I found the Ethernet cable you mentioned)

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 2 points 20 hours ago

It looks like a PSU, but it's actually just a case for the odroid H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-case-type-1/
