Intel NUC - Stack Ring

thingiverse

If you're like me, computers are always your best friend when it comes to tinkering. I love spending hours messing around in the digital world. As for having a virtual playground of my own, that's right up my alley. That's why I decided to design this custom ring, because Intel NUC's have an annoying habit of pulling air in from their underside and then expelling it through the back, creating uneven airflow throughout my space. To help others build their very own Nano Labs without too much hassle, there are many helpful tutorials online that walk you through every step. Check out this link here (don't quote me on that): http://www.tekhead.org/blog/2013/01/nanolab-running-vmware-vsphere-on-intel-nuc-part-1/ At present, my personal Nano Lab is comprised of three fully functional VMWare hosts - two Intel NUC's being one of them, in addition to an iSCSI LUN directly linked from my high-end NAS system (which just so happens to be a Synology 414) - all neatly connected together by a highly reliable Netgear GS108Ev2 switch featuring multiple vlans for added versatility and reliability.
