Hey all I am looking for some ideas to make my Dell SFF optiplexs rack mounted. Has anyone ever got them into a 1U chasie?

I'm in the early stages of redoing my homelab hardware. I have two Dell Optiplexs and I want to fit them in my rack / make them more aesthetically pleasing but without taking up any more space.

The only reason I'm not looking to replace them with a USFF / mini server is because I like being able to have two drives and pci slot for Ethernet ports but I'm willing to hear out other cost effective options. My rack is a short depth rack.

Hey all!

Did some research on this but does not seem to be too much out there on this subject. Does anyone have any battery operated candles they have successfully integrated with Homeassistant?

The number one solution I see is buying candles with a remote and then using a IR bridge to turn them on and off. I'm not sure how reliable this ost or where to start.

I think I would need a IR bridge for at least two different parts of the house that then connect back to home assistant and then I would also need candles with IT remotes that I could control from the hass bridge.

Used to be an avid runner, ran plenty of 5K's up to marathons and then got into the ultra scene and ran everything up to and including 100 milers

Just moved in the middle of nowhere and this is nothing but farms. No pavement or dirt roads to run on either. I have a park with a half mile loop about 20 min. out and that's it.

Its nice being out where I am but sucks not having a place to run.

Not much going on here so I'll start of a thread. Any new equipment or adventures going on?
