Where did you hide your Home Lab gear?
-
I recommend a dedicated closet.
-
-
My stuff is behind my TV in my apartment.
-
I've got it easy ... my home "LAB" is a Desktop running Hyper-V, lol.

What about your modem, router, AP, and switch?
-
Modem, router, and AP are all nestled in a book case and tucked behind my TV in my living room. My servers and everything else are down in the basement.

A server in a damp environment? What could possibility go wrong?
Maybe it's a finished basement?
-
I've got an office. but stuff's just everywhere. my servers are only for testing, they're in a rack. network gear is whatever. i'm going to pro it up sometime this year. just an ERL and maybe a small ubiquity switch.
-
I ornately painted plywood and screwed it into my wall (behind TV in living room) as art. I then mounted a half-rack with my firewall/switch/patch panel. My place is a two story loft style town house so I ran cabling through a runner up the wall and into my bedroom where my server is (4 cat5e cables).
-
The hospital I used to work at had these plastic grates that elevated the towers off of the ground. I want to get my PC off of the carpet for obvious reasons. Any ideas? I have a glass desk FYI.
-
I have a wall mount Rack at home in a closet. Just some POE+ switches, Router, Home Automation Controls, Alarm System stuff, Coxial Distro and patch panels
-
Someplace that I don't remember, and now even I can't find it.
-
My network infrastructure basically looks like this. DO and Vultr VPS servers and Pertino networking.
-
What I have used for the last several years,.. both at home and in the office.
In the last apartment we had, I mounted it to the side/back of a short bookcase.

My Router is also my AP and switch. It is located next to my cable modem in a cabinet beneath my TV.
No wired connections anywhere, as wireless does surprisingly well in my house. I am currently planning a wired deployment, but I am seriously wondering if I need it anywhere other than my "computer room".
-
I have everything in one of the rooms of the house which is also my "office." Our basement sucks and my wife would never approve of having a rack server plus switches and cables anywhere other than that room upstairs.

Hide? Why hide your art.... would you tell VanGogh to put his paintings in a closet?
Heathen.

Why are the cables so long? Where they out of black zip ties?

My art is just bland and looks like I put it together 10 years ago... Oh wait... Most of it was, lol.

Cables are what I have acquired over the years,.. and I didn't feel like cutting and terminating them.
No, not out of black. just the only color I have..
