I am going to decommission a NAS Server and rebuild another one. I have shown you guys my home lab. I've been delaying this work for a way. It won't impact my videos, but it will help with improving my home lab. Home labs are funny, there's always work to be done.
The server I am decommissioning has issues with the fan, it sounds like a rocket, and it's not working right, the one I am going to rebuild is more or less the same model, and I am not sure if bad raid and/or battery. I do know some of the drivers are dying.

I have a Red Hat Developer's Account, as I have stated, my Learning Linux course will use those. Red Hat offer a Developer Account free to anyone. If you want to stay open source, choose one of the following

The Odriod M1 is a great board, but man it get HOT!!! So, I have a couple of these USB Fan, they have three setting, cost about $10 on Amazon and do a great job.
Before the fan, the case was super hot, you could feel it. It would also burn you. Now, I can touch. Here is the current temp
cepayne@garand01:~$ sensors
cpu_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
CPU Temp: +38.3°C (crit = +95.0°C)
gpu_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +34.4°C (crit = +95.0°C)
You don't need to go high tech, some time there are simple solutions.

I was looking for an LCD that I could work with my Banana-PI, a young lady that work with DWIN, made a recommendation of one of their 7" LCD, I ordered off Ali Express, the link is below.
At first, I was like hmmmm, no GPIO, but since it not a Raspberry Pi, that's probably a good thing.
I am very in impress with the LCD, it does 1024x600 and will open up a lot of ideas for projects.
