As I rely more on my home lab server, I’m starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.
Do y’all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling…
One of my neighbors recently got broken into.
Mine is in the utility room, which is in the basement. There’s no way in or out of the basement except for the stairway from the living room on the main floor.
That room is where all of the CAT5 and coax cables are distributed to each room (demarcation point?), and also where the furnace and water heater live. It’s fairly well-ventilated, too, which is nice.
