No Ryobi tools were used in the filming of this video - LOL That KVM device is very nice. I’ve seen them but not in this much detail. Thanks for sharing.
Love it, Mort. Glad to see you upgraded. I always love to tune in, because you help us see what is possible with having such nice server equipment at home. Every episode is fun. Thanks.
I have a 19" Belkin model, mint condition, Air ambulance auction on eBay & I further won a 17" Belkin model with average wear & tear. Both for less then £25 IIRC, KVM is cool :D
Nice upgrade Morten! Now you'll never back to the small screen. I think at one time I had a kvm for 2 PCs. I just you the ethernet connection these days. If that doesn't work I'll use individual monitor/kybd to troubleshoot the half dozen PCs I have.
big fan of rack studs,my fingers to. But I'm always mounting them sideways, rotating them 90, that way you can get them out as well.. and the bracket might fit better. just how I do it.
Okay,, there are things that I liked with the IBM,, the nipple. But the colors was not good,, and the camcorder made it look better than what I could see.
how do you hook upto each server? Do you manually plug it into each one as you need it? I picked up a blackbox servswitch duo recently to take care of that but havent found a kvm like yours for a reasonable price yet....
You start by buying a cheap affordable old server,, you play, upgrade/update install all kind of stuff on it,, then you sell it and get a better one...
@@MyPlayHouse but I don't understand what I need to look for. What makes a server a good deal? Is it better to get dual or single CPU? I have no experience with any of the software like iLO or iDRAC, so I'm confused on what is recommended.
It's a shame the keyboard is in the wrong language, maybe contact that company that refurbishes server systems, see if they have a compatable danish keyboard.
@@MyPlayHouse Oh, that is too bad. I so wish I had one of these keyboards. I mean the ones with the full height PC keys *but* the nipple nonetheless. Not those laptop keyboards with the nipple, I do have those...
I have actually stole(kind of) a pc from my school, it is from 2003 too. I was thinking i can play old games with it for nostalgia, but when my hands got dirt, no point to do that. In the bios screen the cpu(p4 3ghz) temperature is 58° C, it's like a helicopter runs in my bedroom, i still wanna use it but, no point. Good ol' hardwares...
Even its sound card has lots of background noise, what an ancient thing if you consider nowadays computers. Technology really has come a long way from there. Ps, every single thernal compound has replaced.
@@MyPlayHouse i am glad i weren't you, or if i were you i would probably use some earphones that military uses for missile launching, take care of your ears :))))

Next video is Ryobi,, and it will blow your mind 🤗

Hi Poe Lemic
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Nice update!
Yeah, things not always goes smooth as planned..
as i sometimes say,, "It's no fun if it works the first time"
I have a 19" Belkin model, mint condition, Air ambulance auction on eBay & I further won a 17" Belkin model with average wear & tear. Both for less then £25 IIRC, KVM is cool :D
You got a very good deal there!!
nice KVM , good luck , and a nice week !!!
Thank You! and thank you for your PayPal thing,, I got very confused :-)
Nice, I have always wanted one of these.
I think Ebay is your friend here.
My next purchase: a kvm console !
You can get lucky on these,, someone bought some for just $25.
@@MyPlayHouse Thank you I will do my research !
Great video mate sorry if this sounds like a silly question I am quite new here but what do you use your racks filled with hardware for?
Decoration, winter heating, mining, and making UA-cam videos
I like hardware :-) there is a F.A.Q. Under the about tap, where I explain some more
Nice upgrade Morten! Now you'll never back to the small screen. I think at one time I had a kvm for 2 PCs. I just you the ethernet connection these days. If that doesn't work I'll use individual monitor/kybd to troubleshoot the half dozen PCs I have.
I have a KVM switch that can handle 256 servers.
@@MyPlayHouse ok ok, your KVM is bigger than mine, lol.
It has 16 ports, and each port can handle 16 servers.
big fan of rack studs,my fingers to. But I'm always mounting them sideways, rotating them 90, that way you can get them out as well.. and the bracket might fit better. just how I do it.
I am having a bit of problems,, with the Console lucking,, and the rackstuds not holding, but letting it slide.. but it is still a cool system.
I like the old one more. I'm just fussy I suppose. Looks good though

Yes,, it is totally manual :-/
I have had a KVM switch hooked up,, but it was not really worth it. for my tiny setup.
@@MyPlayHouse "tiny"... whilst looking at 2 large racks of servers... :D
Darn.... missed again.....I was driving home from work. 😁 267th. 😂😂
That you missed is not a big deal,, but we need to talk about your counting :-)
I really like the idea of a homelab and would like your advice on how to get started.

If it's just a standard keyboard in a weird box to fit inside a rack, then why don't they just include the local keys in a small bag?
It’s not a mainstream keyboard,, but probably other languages are available.
Hi Morten, do you intend to sell the old one? Thanks
I gave it to my buddy, who is also building a rack setup
they are called RKM's (Rackmount Keyboard/Mouse)
What about the video ?? :-)
@@MyPlayHouse its more or less implied ¬.¬
I don't wanna know about your power consumption and related costs :-)
He generates a lot of solar power.
It is not a small post in the budget. :-)
It's a shame the keyboard is in the wrong language, maybe contact that company that refurbishes server systems, see if they have a compatable danish keyboard.
Well the old one was also a US key,, I had just forgotten that.. :-)
super.
Hi Kacper
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Can I have your old "Nipple-Keyboard", please? I love these things and have been looking for one for ages, but they are all so expensive :(
Sorry I had given it away already before the video went live.
