First build! Left lots of space…

Excited to be a part of the Ubiquiti fam! As per this thread I left lots of space for goodies throughout the year (when stuff is ever back in stock). Answering a few Qs I’m expecting:

- Yes, the UPS is not connected. I don’t know why they made the power cord so short, so powering directly from the pdu currently. And yes, I want the Unifi 2U psu!

- Yes, everyday I refresh the site to see if OCD panels come in stock… sigh. I bought spray paint but honestly may rather just wait for the real deal.

- Currently running Synology NAS in the back of the rack but the Unifi NVRs are sexy. Just a bit limited for what I’d like (I think).

- Currently running all Google home devices / cameras, but happy that I have to option to swap to protect if the time calls for it.

- Running 3Gb with Bell (capped at 2.5 with this switch + a touch more capped with Pppoe, but honestly everything’s running great for our needs right now.

Open to any thoughts and suggestions! Cheers :)

EDIT: Yes, I am going to get rid of those ugly power bricks! Waiting for more extensions to arrive.

I'm a noob here. Just made this mockup to start planning to lay things out. What I've learned from this sub is that I'll "never be done" lol, so I got an 18U. List of everything I have here:

  • APs (2x U7 Pro Walls, U7 Pro XGS, U7 Outdoor)
  • UDM-SE
  • Pro Max 16 PoE
  • Power Distribution Pro
  • AC infinity 2U exhaust
  • AC Infinity 4U drawer (would get the smaller one if/when the gear grows)
  • Other accessories like patch panel, blank panels, "Rackstuds", etc.

u/KlausPerez I screenshotted some of your rack as I plan to paint some parts as well! Love your setup btw.

EDIT: Ignore the wiring, just focused on where the gear is slotted for now, then will do up the cable managment.
