Extra Parts
I like some of the ideas for mountings from this video, namely the ones for the mini pcs, will look into them.
Hardware
For hardware I can stick with the Mini PC i have for now, but eventually want to invest in a full solution like the video below:

I want to implement 3d min pc nodes with the structure from This homelab setup is my favorite one yet.
I am thinking of two Venus UM790 Pro Mini PC’s and a mini nas like the Beelink ME Mini NAS which is perfect for a 10 inch rack. However, I do not yet have a need for any more compute, so the priority would be setting up the mini nas beelink.
Software
Software is documented at Saturn Rack Software, but the main things would be some basic NAS/cloud storage tech, but also room for experiments etc.
