Building Four Servers in One Day!

One virtualization server in your homelab is great. But do you know what's better? FOUR servers! My server rack is getting quite the makeover today, as I add in four new servers for better redundancy and backups.
But first... What am I drinking???
From Kettel Beerworks, it's the Velvet Panda Oatmeal Stout (5.5%). I sit squarely with Ron Swanson on this one... Any Stout under 9% is a Porter, and Porters are pointless. Where oatmeal stouts are usually served with a spoon, this is thin and pretty unremarkable. 2/5.

At first thought you were drawing a heart with the thermal paste xD
-
That ending was well worth the watch
-
Craft's whife: " hey hun, how come the checking account is empty" Craft: ummmmmm
-
OMG... the "after credits scene" is one of the best things I've seen recently!
-
The perfect thermal paste application at the end of the video. Very well done!
-
13:39 - That... That was absolutely hilarious.

And the cat shows up right when Jeff needs a cat

Hey, I'd love to see a whole video about power consumption! That would be insanely informative. Especially comparing Sandy to Ivy, with GPU, without GPU, with GPU installed but blacklist, with GPU blacklisted but VM started and then shut down. Please that would make a hell of a video!
-
I'm glad to see that even being a youtuber that definitely knows what he is doing, you are still doing the same mistake as us. Cheers !
-
This video helped me find the optimal thermal paste aplication pattern!
-
When I saw the stack of hard drives, I was like, OK linus, lololol
-
on 1 hand i hate that the projects do not finishing in a single video...on the other i love that i see the miscalculations, mistakes or simply bad luck you have doing those things and we also learn from your mistakes! Thank you! 😊

drives moved from 6 to 4 (3 and 2 on each side) screws with the addition of extra platters... this has been standard for about 7 years.

You’ve got a better track record of ordering parts then the people who order fiber trunks at my work. Last time they were 40-50ft over and this time they were 20ft short.

Congratulations on reaching 200k subscribers. Your videos are always exciting to watch, and your explanations are straightforward, and not overly complicated. Keep up the great work 🍻🍻

Love how you also show the problems that you face, it makes your videos all the more genuine and interesting! Plus it shows a great quality to your character, keep up the great content!

Stumbled onto you a few weeks ago. I love that you include your mistakes. you're 100% relatable to anyone who does this stuff for a living. And your beer choice is almost always top notch. Cheers, bruv!
-
All the little mishaps here reminded me of my journey upgrading my 3D printer recently. I feel your pain. Also, I thought you were going to demonstrate how that thermal paste application was actually fine, but it was even better
-
lol the end. Nice!

Tom , just the tip ....Rolf
