How it started:
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:
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.

A lesson I learnt along the way:
HDD’s on your desk are loud AF when you’re constantly writing to a database
Solution: Everything except backups and Media run on SSD’sIt’s great but that fan is an overkill. 😂
Very much so, but I do enjoy gross overkill.
I’ll build them into a future case then they won’t be as overkill

I adore every piece of this
My OG system had the whole side panel on the case ripped out where I stuck a fan because the CPU fan died, that was over a decade ago I love your setup <3
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
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
And is that an Ethernet cable going into what looks like PSU? (I found the Ethernet cable you mentioned)
