Honestly, I didn’t think one would fit in This beauty was the perfect match. The size was spot-on, the build quality impressive, and the modular design allowed me to add some extra accessories, like a power strip and shelves, to complete the setup. ### Servers -I was already having one server and I wanted to keep that first stone, but it had 2 main problems: -- Only one network interface, I wanted at least 2. -- Old hardware, 5 years old, limited compatibility option. +I already had one server that served as the cornerstone of my homelab, and I wanted to keep it. But it had two major drawbacks: +- **Single Network Interface:** I wanted at least two NICs for network segmentation and redundancy. +- **Aging Hardware:** It was over five years old, and its compatibility options were becoming limited. -For the missing NIC, I researched a way to add one. I thought about an USB adapter, but then I discovered I could use the internal M.2 port of the WiFi module to connect a 2.5Gbps adapter. +For the missing NIC, I considered a USB adapter but then stumbled upon a better solution: using the internal M.2 port, originally meant for a WiFi module, to connect a 2.5Gbps adapter. It was a perfect fit. -On the hardware, my current server is powered by a AM4 Ryzen 3 2200G with 16GB of RAM. For the sake of compatibility, I wanted all my nodes to have similar setup. I sticked with a AM4 socket for the other nodes. +Regarding hardware, my existing server was powered by an AM4 Ryzen 3 2200G with 16GB of RAM. To keep things consistent and simplify compatibility, I decided to stick with the AM4 socket for all nodes. -Let's break it down: +Here’s the breakdown of my three-node setup: | Node | Vertex | Apex | Zenith | | ---- | ------ | ---- | ------ |
