Here's my main rack at the house. I finally have redundant 10Gb links between all but the shop switch (it isn't needed there).
Supermicro 5018D-FN8T running Untangle HomePro Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch ES-16-XG as 10Gb core switch Aruba 2930F JL255A as primary access switch Cisco SG350-28P as overflow access switch  Attached FileI have another rack in my shop with a Cisco SG250-26P and fiber running back to the house with cameras and a backup NAS.  Attached FileAlso, my lab/server rack with a HPE 1950 JG962A in my o  Attached FileAll devices are on APC SMT1500 or Eaton 5SC series UPSes. I shudder at the dollars spent between the networking equipment, cameras, and home server equipment. It keeps me occupied though so there's that. ETA: I'm running UniFi AP's for the moment. A UAP-AC-HD and UAP-AC-PRO in the house and a UAP-AC-IW each in the shop and old garage. I plan on changing to Ruckus or Aruba (non-controller models) when I next upgrade. |

I just got my first rack
24U, adjustable depth. Going to hold 2x HP proliant dl360 gen8 (I think, they may be gen 7, I can't remember and don't have them in front of me), a unifi 24 port swtich, unifi dream machine, a decomissioned sff pc acting as a pfsense router / firewall, and some other misc odds and ends Putting it all together in a few weeks, once I move. |

That works. UniFi switch? The outside phone line is coming into the house via 6C Cat-3 that I ran. That goes into a CenturyLink modem (which I hate) that is running in bridged mode. The EdgeRouter X connects to that and handles PPPoE. It also handles 6rd. Port 1 on the ER-X goes to the WAN port on the modem. The rest act as a LAN switch. The gigabit switch goes into one of those, the 10 gigabit switch into another, and the access point into a third. The access point is in the living room and uses one of the 12 Cat-6A drops. I think I'm going to setup EAP-TLS on the Wi-Fi. The ER-X runs OpenWrt and can act as a RADIUS server. |

How big of a concern is cooling for a home setup? I have some space in a closet I could use, but I'm concerned about it getting too hot. |

It's a myth that you have to keep data center equipment at 60-something degrees. As long as it isn't 120+ degrees in the closet, you're good to go.

I used to have a workspace in the corner of a server room that gone through several server consolidations and retirements, and we were down to about four or five racks containing servers, core switch, a SAN and fiber management. Also present was a PBX system soon to be replaced. When the AC would fail or be brought down for service, the temperature would rise from 68 degrees to over 80 fairly fast. Since the space was larger, this allowed us the use of floor fans to circulate the air enough.
I see a problem with a closet with no sends / returns for a cooling system. Circulating air helps when there's cooler air to replace it with. A confined space could get over 100 degrees easily with just switches and a UPS. |

If you're just doing a network setup there is almost no heat generated. I built mine in a coat closet and it doesn't get hot at all and I have no fans on it. If you're going to build a server then it will get much hotter. In that case I would get a rack with built in fans just to be sure. I doubt in a home setup it's going to really get hot enough to hurt anything, but better safe than sorry. |
