My user profile is a small apartment, 2x people, with <25 devices, including IoT. As my homelab is located in my living room there was a focus on low heat/power.

I used the following hardware to develop a home-lab network with internet throughput >1Gbps:

• Custom home server, comprising of:
  • i5-10600T on a AsRock Z490m-ITX motherboard
  • 64GB RAM
  • 2x 1TB NVME 970 evo plus
