My Current Homelab (Jan. 1st 2026)

As this website is dedicated to my homelab and documenting that, I should probably go through what is in my current homelab. It's not very much but it does the job for me. As of writing, this is all accurate, though I suspect it will change over the year. I do want to get some rack mounted equipment at some point, but we'll see how that goes. I also want to do some Raspberry Pi or SBC stuff in terms of homelabbing, or even some Mini PC stuff. Who knows?

My Main PC

My main PC specs make no sense, and isn't technically part of the homelab but I'm putting it here beacuse I want to show off the fact I have RAM in 2026, and for some reason run 2 GPUs.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (AM4) @ 4.2GHz
• RAM: 64GB DDR4-3200MT/s
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
• M/B: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4
• Storage: 1x 500GB NVMe - Boot, 1x 1TB NVMe - Quick Storage, 1x 4TB Seagate Barracuda - Steam Library
• OS: Arch Linux
• Case: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Black & White Edition (USB 3.0 version)
• Network: 1x WiFi 6E AX210 WLAN Card, 1x 2.5GbE Realtek LAN PCIe Card

The Server

This "server" is actually just an HP Z230 Tower Workstation that I originally bought because I wanted to use it as a case, then I bought a CPU for it, used it as a Windows XP machine for a little bit, then turned it into the server. At some point I want to get an HBA and use a JBOD for more storage, as the Z230 board only has 5 SATA ports, and I've used them all.

• CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270v3 @ 3.5GHz
• RAM: 32GB ECC DDR3 (Speed unknown, and I don't care enough to check)
• GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
• OS: TrueNAS Community Edition
• Apps: Home Assistant, Immich, Jellyfin, Monitee Agent, qBittorrent, Tailscale, Vaultwarden
• Storage: 1x 240GB SSD (SATA) - Boot Drive, 2x 4TB Seagate Barracuda - RAID0 - Storage/Archive, 2x 2TB Samsung HDDs - RAID0 - Media Storage

Networking Equipment

My networking equipment is very basic. It just extends the Wi-Fi from downstairs to the room. That's pretty much all. I do have plans for networking though.

• Wi-Fi Extender: TP-Link RE315
