Ikea billy cabinet + acoustic foam + noctua fans = wife approved homelab. 4u in a bookshelf basically. Temps look fine in idrac though. 38c idle.
Pics attached. Think it is pretty clean for wfh setup
Built a 'silent' rack for the apartment
Foam is flammable. Cabinet has no airflow. This will end badly.
Locked. Take it to DMs.
Anyway I did this at 3am once with a mini fridge
If (temp > 80) { panic("why did I do this") }
Worked until it didn't. Idk why I do this. 💀
Your foam is probably blocking the exhaust path. Hot air goes up, foam says no.
builds at 3AM, sleeps at noon
