Welcome back to Crowbar Kernel Panic! 🚀
In this episode, we dive into the three main “lanes” of homelab hardware and help you decide which one makes sense for your space, budget, and goals:
Lane 1: Refurb Enterprise Rack — the loud, hot, datacenter monster 🏢
Lane 2: Workstation Builds — the “Goldilocks” option for power and sanity ⚖️
Lane 3: Low-Power Mini Clusters — silent bookshelf datacenters 📚
We compare cost, noise, power draw, expandability, and real-world use cases. Plus, we talk through subscriber comments, Kubernetes setups, and share some personal homelab stories (including when things go hilariously wrong).
If you’re thinking about building your own homelab, or just want to hear about the trade-offs, this episode is for you.
