Cleaned up my homelab today.

Routed all power through a UPS, which gives me an hour of uptime in case the power goes out.

My ISP’s 10 Gbps fiber modem feeds into an SFP+ module plugged in a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE that acts as router and firewall.

I’m running 3x Ubuntu Server NUCs with an Ethereum node, a Quilibrium node, and Adguard Home as the central adblocking DNS (which I can monitor in real time on the screen).

Also a Synology NAS for local backups + video surveillance.

The utility closet was ~20 inches wide so I had to shop for a slim rack that could just about fit

Each NUC is about $800. Ubiquiti DM is about $700. NAS is about $400. So I’d say about $3.5K spread over a few years

I’d say about $3.5-4K in CapEx (spread out over a few years). Hard to tell the OpEx because it’s an unknown subset of my broader utility bill, but the whole lab consumes about 72W, so you can apply that to your own slab tariffs
