Rackmount Air Conditioning?!?!?!? IT'S A THING!

How do you keep servers cool without building a dedicated cold room? You cool the rack! Today, I’ll be installing the Tripp Lite SRCOOL7KRM into my home server rack, and pushing all of the heat generated by the rack out of the house. Why cool down my 900 SQFT, uninsulated garage when I can cool just the rack itself?

A massive shoutout to Tripp Lite for sending over the SRCOOL7KRM and ducting kit to make this project possible.

    maybe good magnets and ca glue for front plastic.

    If you don't mind sharing, where did you buy your vinyl for the front of the rack?

    The design of the SRCOOL7KRM seems insane to me – there's only one intake both for air-to-be-cooled, and air-to-be-exhausted, from what I can see. That results in a huge amount of waste, since you can't recirculate cool air on one side of the cooler, while having a separate air path for the hot side of the AC. It's like portable ACs that cool themselves with the room's cool air instead of having a separate intake/exhaust – ridiculously inefficient.

    A design with separate paths for the hot side and the cold side of the air conditioner would also prevent you from needing to do all that ducting from the rears of the servers – all of the heat rejected from the entire rack would come out of the single air conditioner exhaust.

    Pretty awesome video..
    Probably you could got away without the higher speed fan if you put two separate holes out one for the ac and another for the server exhaust instead of combining both into one hole out. But I can understand that making two holes out of the garage doesn't sound like a pleasant idea.

  5. @jdsim9173

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    If you went with a Wye instead of a Tee you wouldn't have the air flowing down also where does the water drain to from the AC unit?

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    I would have had the heat dumped into my heating ducts 🤔
    Like, I use my crypto mining to help heat my house, so yeah lel

  8. @GamerDud2003

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Why not just get a mini-split unit installed in the garage?

  9. @majstealth

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    500w at idle? my 1 server alone draws 200w at idle, with9x3.5 and 6×2.5 hdd´s hmmmmm

  10. @drdolby1585

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Why not heating a part of the house ?
    It's a proper amount of energy you waisting.

  11. @shahinhoseinkhah9348

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    you are an awesome guy when it comes to servers but I would ask an air conditioner engineer about T duct you made there it is not a good idea

  12. @logicprohacks

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Read the Amazon reviews and you will find that these Tripp Lite AC's are not so reliable.

  13. @ejbully

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Hey Jeff

    Next build
    Whenever toy have an excuse to get another rack.

    Go with a sysrack.
    They have fans on the top. I can see it much easier to shroud the fans off and reduce into flex round.

    Regardless good shit

    Edit : whenever you *

  14. @csorrows

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    You can't compare heat wattage to consumptiuon wattage. They are both measurements of energy, yes, but not the same thing.

  15. @Ender_Wiggin

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    so what happen to the follow up video?

  16. @ColaCal

    Why you always looking angry man

  17. @edbouhl3100

    “…. Sitting at idle at about 500 watts …..”. 😨

    As an HVAC guy by day and budding homelab/gamer guy by night/weekend, you do better HVAC ducting working than most helpers I had in my residential days.

  20. @christianstark1055

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Cool solution. I would suggest changing the "T" at the top to a "Y" style duct. The inline fan will then create a venturi effect on the vent from the AC. I think you will get better flow through the AC.

  21. @libertine5606

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    I am not sure if your system will work. What you would want is for the condenser to have a external/closed system that would loop around the radiator. Pulled from the external air and pushed back out after taking out the heat. And the internal air to pass over the cooler and keep recirculating. Pulling "hot" air from the top has to be replaced by external air defeating the purpose.

  22. @BlackBusinessCryptoGroup-jg5bm

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Hey quick question? What did you do about the drain plug? does it matter?

  23. @minarimon3106

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    How loud is the cooling unit ??

  24. @roberturbanski2797

    October 8, 2024 at 6:57 am

    Wow I can't even stand this bullshit and finish the video. It's so dummy that my eyes blow off watching this. You put your duct in the server rack… OMG it should be out of it. I believe after 4 years you know why but … man take off this video from youtube.

My New Homemade DIY Server Rack

Published

on

My New Homemade DIY Server Rack



**Yes, I am well aware of my “umm” crutch when I monologue. Comments about it will be deleted and blocked from my channel.**

I recently picked up two new rack-mount servers (Dell PowerEdge 2950-III, 2x Quad Core E5450 @ 3.0GHz, 32GB RAM, 2x 146GB 15K SAS, PERC-6i, DRAC5), and I needed a home for them. I already had a 2 post 44U rack that I had got for free, but it would need to be cut to fit into the space I had in order to accommodate the servers. So I figured since I had to cut it anyway, I might as well do it right and make a 4 poster out of it. I was going to insert a picture of what the original rack looked like (it was a hot mess), but as a network tech I decided it would be pretty embarrassing. But anyways, for me to buy a rack this size would have cost me several hundred bucks. To build it cost me about $20 in lumber, $5 for a pound of screws, and $8 for the casters. As I said the original rack I got free, but you can buy a set of 20U rack rails for about $50 on ebay.

I cut the posts between the 22 and 23U, and then trimmed the bottom ends so they were the same length (the bottoms were longer after the cut since they had to also accommodate the base). I did this with a metal cutting blade in my chopsaw.

*** A word of warning – if you cut aluminum with a power saw, make sure there is NO LOOSE RUST ANYWHERE THE DUST IS THROWN – this includes if you have a dust collection system! Aluminum dust + iron rust = THERMITE! Once mixed it can be ignited by sparks, and once it starts burning there is no stopping it – and it will burn through basically anything. So just be careful!

I bought some 2×4’s and cut them up to the correct lengths to build my frame, then put it all together with star-head deck screws (Just Say NO to stripped out Philips screws!!). All screw holes were pre-drilled and countersunk to prevent the wood from splitting. There are four 1 1/2″ casters on the bottom, so it rolls around nicely. I used two swivel and two fixed, but in retrospect I should’ve just used all swivels. Once it was all assembled, I just screwed the rack pieces in place and loaded up all my gear!

If you are going to build a rack like this, MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE! Make sure you freshen the milled ends, BEFORE you measure, make sure you mark your measurements accurately, and make sure you take the blade kerf width into account and cut in the right place. You don’t want to get it all together and then find out it’s crooked or your gear doesn’t fit between the rack rails.

The gear is all explained in the video. I hope you enjoy! .

I'm FINALLY putting my homelab into a server rack



It’s been a long wait but I’m finally building a server rack and putting all my homelab gear in it! I don’t have much yet, but I decided to splurge, get a sysracks 18U server rack from sysracks, and build it over Christmas! Now I can finally tell people what’s in my server rack, this is an overview and walkthrough of my homelab and how I built the server rack including all the experiences I went through when putting it all together then ill give you my overall thoughts on the product and how you could potentially use sysracks for your own server rack needs!
