Homelab is sitting on the two lower shelves of an IKEA BESTΓ… TV bench.

I'm going to make two wooden frames and cover them with black fabric, like a speaker front.

First iteration is just to balance/press them in place, next iteration will use some sort of magnetic or velcro fixture.

Nice work, Michael, it looks neat.

In natural indoor light, you can just about notice the green and red power LEDs.

I'll keep an eye on temperature and fan usage. Usually the Pi and ThinkCentre servers are cool and quiet. The fabric seems 'open' enough for air to flow through.
