Part 3 - Server Rack, The Beginnings of My HomeLab - What's going on Crypto Universe! I hope everybody's is doing will! In today's video, in my crypto mining dungeon, I'm going to attempt to build the world's largest Orange Pi Cluster supercomputer that I'm aware of with 125 Orange Pi's. The rig will have more than 1,000 CPU cores, 500 gigabytes of RAM and draw around 1000 Watts amazingly at full blast. In theory it's not built yet we'll see what it does when it's actually done. For those of you who would like to build your own you can use any SPC like the Raspberry Pi, Rock Pi, Banana Pi, or the Orange Pi like I did, it's just a lot more powerful with eight cores then the Raspberry Pi 5. Stay tuned guys and if you missed any of the prior videos of this build make sure to check them out there's lots of good info in there.

About This Video

What’s going on Cryptocurrency Universe, it’s The Bitcoin Miner here. In this part of the 125 Orange Pi cluster build, I’m in the crypto mining dungeon at like 3:00 in the morning because I got super lucky on a server rack deal. The final Orange Pi’s showed up, and right when I’m trying to finish this “world’s largest Orange Pi cluster” (125 boards, 1,000+ CPU cores, ~500GB RAM, and around 1000W at full blast in theory), I realized I needed a real way to clean up the chaos—especially with kids around and wires hanging everywhere. I walk through my thought process on rack sizing and why I canceled the first rack idea (I’d lose shelf space and expansion room). I almost bought a new open-frame rack from Amazon, but my nephew Kyle pushed me to check Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace, and that’s where I scored a Net Access N-Type cabinet (N8522B) for $250. The seller kind of “head faked” me using a stock photo with PDUs, so I negotiated down when those weren’t included. I also show how I got this massive cabinet into the garage as a one-man job, why the cable hooks/rails matter for a build this big, and how locking the rack is a huge win for safety and keeping the setup self-contained.
