Opinions Wanted: Trying to build a home server that can run multiple eth/OP nodes, sell AI compute to Akash Network, be a personal drive, and possibly run a plex server. Linux is a must. Is the first step to choose a rack? If so, does this one limit me in terms of cooling or other attributes for the use cases above? https://navepoint.com/navepoint-19-inch-wide-networking-cabinet-12u-17-inches-deep-white/

It seems like you've got quite ambitious plans already! If it were me I would first try to do a rough calculation of power draw, especially since you have AI compute in the equation. That'll not only give you an idea of ROI for selling compute but may help determine your cooling needs. You could also just have the personal stuff on a regular desktop chassis since it likely won't need to change much, and have the money-centric hardware in something that both scales and has more reliability via battery backups, etc.

That’s a great idea @sdv.eth - I’ll check into it - are you aware of any kind of calculator for such things?

I’d look at r/homelab and see if there’s a template you can use! Otherwise I’d make a spreadsheet, grab the TDP (watts) for all the hardware you anticipate running, guesstimate for idle and busy loads, see how much you pay for electricity the hour, and then have ChatGPT guide you through the rest 😆
