    Content creator & video editor friends of mine are all jumping back onto the Final Cut bandwagon, they are all loving the stability, performance, and ease of use - even more so now when it comes to render performance on their shiny new M1 MacMinis. I personally haven't used Final Cut since like FPCv7 or something like that back in the Leopard & Snow Leopard days...
    Keen to know more about the heat extraction fan you're using - I have one in my server room - an in-line one I got from Bunnings (leading / major home hardware supplies in Australia) and it does lower the temps by between 5-10c on a standard 20c day. My server room is also much smaller than yours, and also quite packed with a full height rack (top two thirds populated)... Great vid!

    I am about to move into my first house and I am checking out people's setups so I can prepare to build my own while taking as many things I like from the masses creativity. I have been using a server rack for my network management in my apartment, and also to house a ghetto-rig server made from donated old gaming PC parts (circa i7 3rd generation, overclocked). Thank you for the update, as I watched your first video and did have some of these questions. Admittedly, my server isn't virtualized in any way, and it is actually just running Win10 Pro and runs loads of processes for server applications, like Plex, Bitbucket, Teamcity, Octopus Deploy, and hosting ASP.NET web apps when I want to try things out. I have docker installed but haven't really learned how to use it yet...
    All that is to say, thank you for your videos as they have given me some knowledge and ideas. I am totally going to start VMs at some point, and there is no doubt I will be backing up Wikipedia from now on!
