3 servers, a Mac Mini, and some old networking kit
Lee talks about building a home lab consisting of several servers and some networking equipment.

Rack is limited to 30cm deep due to closet dimensions. All three server cases have been modded in one way or another (most drastic was the DVR, cut down from 40cm deep with an angle-grinder). To save money / energy, the DVR is the only one always on, except in winter when I can justify the others heating the apartment.
The (fairly obsolete) Cisco Router and old WiFi broadband router together can provide a Wireless LAN filtered with an IP deny list.
