New addition to my Lab Rax homelab! I just installed the GMKtec NucBox K10 into my 3D printed 10” homelab stack, and it’s already pulling its weight at the top of the rack.
This compact mini PC packs a punch for its size and fits perfectly into a 10” rack. Whether you’re looking for a low-power server, mini NAS, or Docker host — the K10 is a solid option.
Check out my latest video for a full walkthrough of the K10 and some performance tests.

If you haven’t already, take a look at my latest project, a fully 3D printable and modular 10” rack system which I’ve called Lab Rax. It’s great to build a Homelab into, including Raspberry Pi clusters! I’ve added a 2U kit that can house 7 Pi’s, which I’m using in my main rack.
The video is live on my channel!

Have you seen my latest Pi 5 project video? I designed and 3D printed a case for a Raspberry Pi 5 with an integrated water cooling loop using a 5V pump and a 60mm radiator and fan.
The case body is printed using and FDM printer, the reservoir, cooling block and water lines on an SLA printer and the side panels are made from clear acrylic.
Unsurprisingly, the cooling loop performs way better than the offical Pi 5 Active Cooler, running about 25 degrees Celsius cooler under full load.

What do you think of the latest mini PCs having some form of PCIe expansion port on them? Are they a waste of money or a welcome addition?

This week I’ve been experimenting with laser engraving directly onto 3D printed parts. I’m starting to get good results! Video coming next week…

Have you seen my latest video? I tried out the CrowView Note, a new laptop style all-in-one display for the Raspberry Pi 5 or Jetson Nano. You can even use it with a mobile phone or tablet.
