   MNT Rack Reform rough prototyping. the unpopulated volume can be used for a GPU or disks and/or UPS batteries and/or fan.

     @mntmn would it be better to make it depeer & have attachments for two motherboards? 🤔

     @elshid well, it's in a 19 inch rackmount case, and meant to be used as a server or appliance. it has a built-in power supply. there will be a riser and mounting points for a PCIe card, which is mostly interesting in conjunction with the LS1028A open hardware CPU module, which can drive AMD or nVidia GPUs.

     @elshid also, i am working on a remote control facility that is independent from the main motherboard and lets you interact with the serial console remotely (incl. bootloader), and power cycle the system.

     @lina @elshid the plan is custom/linux, based on https://www.olimex.com/Products/SOM/STMP1/STMP157-SOM-512/

     @mntmn @elshid custom built or just adapted from OpenBMC?

     @mntmn Put 4-8 gigabit ethernet ports (2.5G would be ideal) and you've got a world class router platform running linux+shorewall!

     I'd blog about that for you if you'd like!

     @purpleidea interesting, you mean via PCIe?

     @mntmn Whichever method works best for your hardware designs! There's a large demand for two port routers running Linux. (I buy and install many!) But there are not a lot of good options in the market for 6-8 port routers running Linux. Here is one example:

     Happy to test out your new server and blog at purpleidea.com if interested!

     @jc @mntmn I'd much rather use any of the software raid solutions than hardware raid. Current nas is connected over 10GbE SFP

     @mntmn @martijnbraam >= 4x SATA or m.2 with hardware RAID, >= 2x 1GbE or better, network interface link aggregation, and support for OpenMediaVault would be ideal for my use case.
