What’s the best way to build a home lab?

If you don’t have an older PC that could be recommissioned to the role of your lab’s central server or you don’t have the experience to build a PC from parts, I suggest you have a look at Intel’s NUCs. They come in a variety of configurations and if space is an issue they also come in a small form factor.

What are the pros and cons of a home lab?

These include room temperature and ventilation, workable space around your equipment, ease and distance of network cable runs, foot traffic, 24-hour ease of access, power, noise levels from your home lab, and more. Here’s a quick list of Pros vs. Cons I’ve compiled to get us thinking about all the possible home lab locations.

What do you think of the home lab?

Think of a home lab as a place where you can fail in the privacy of your own home. As Thomas A. Edison said: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” I consider myself an expert at failure. But seriously, I would like to fail a lot more, and a home lab will create endless opportunities for me to fail.

What’s the best place for a home lab?

The choice between the home office, living room, closet, attic, basement, or garage depends on a range of important variables. These include room temperature and ventilation, workable space around your equipment, ease and distance of network cable runs, foot traffic, 24-hour ease of access, power, noise levels from your home lab, and more.
