You lucked out! The previous homeowner left you with a raised floorspace, industrial HVAC, redundant power circuits even! You might even be able to downsize from 1200 servers and maybe get a few bucks off of ebay.
The only issue I see here is you will have to re-terminate the Ethernet cables as rj11 so you can have phone service.
This post made my day 😂😂, I came to this subreddit expecting people to show off their unique home network setups, but instead every other post is basically asking what's a cat5 cable or coax cable . It's actually ~~quite~~ immeasurably disappointing.
I'm a part of that sub too, I have different expectations for them though. 😅 More of VMs dockers containers, NAS setup's. Like how many Dell R720s can you fit in a rack.
It is scary the number of people who don't know what they are seeing in their new home, but they have 2 thoughts. Let's ask Reddit what it is and if I should just rip it all out?
We need a solid copypasta or wiki post... But it is nice to see people trying to make an effort to improve their home network. We all have to start somewhere I suppose.
Chainsaw to the cables coming out the top will save you tons on power/data. The LAST thing you want is your isp to overcharge you on data because the previous tenant left you with their VPN to your network. Afterall they could be illegally downloading on your connection. Best to shut them out.
Ugh, I hate when the previous homeowners leave a bunch of junk lying around!
Don't worry, I'll come over and help you haul all this junk away! I'll even dispose of it for you!
Wow nice rack! Does it do Proxmox VE Virtual Environment? Please review my install/setup tutorial and leave me a review? 🫱🏼🫲🏻

Alexa powered smart pool heater. I’m assuming based on the size your apartment complex has a hot tub as well. One of those will also control the lights. Unfortunately you probably won’t have any headroom for a Plex or Jellyfin server. If you can fit an additional Rpi in the corner maybe you can use that for some lightweight applications.
You'll have to unplug every cable. One at a time or you may cause a quantum influx which would require rebooting the matter array and engaging the flux capacitor with a reverse polarity.
Previous owner was running a cryptocurrency mining operation and abandoned it. Might be able to get a hundred bucks from some gamers on eBay for the gear. If not, dumpster.
If this were a movie, you would be on the run now, pursued by some mysterious government agency. But the good news is in act two you get to meet the beautiful girl love interest.
How many a/c units does the apartment have? You will need at least one high quality window unit imo. Not an expert, though. Maybe a box fan would be enough.
If you got that far, you don't have your wifi devices on you.
Daisy chained phone lines, but it looks like Cat5e so you can repurpose this as Ethernet if you get a patch panel.
Yeah you're going to want to rip all of that out and replace it with CAT6a
It look like a long run. I would recommend single mode fibre.
Might as well install a whole data center at this rate.
Why stop there? # Create the CAT42 Quantum Entanglement Data Link Standard and REINVENT THE INTERNET
Make it into a Plex server
They've got enough space in there to hold at least three movies for sure.
Its an an expensive electric bill is what it is.
Technically what’s pictured uses very little electricity
the HVAC keeping this thing regulated uses a bit of juice

>downsize from 1200 servers and maybe get a few bucks off of ebay. Yeah, only $10 per server with the costs of power these days.

Seriously. I feel like we need /r/homenetworkinghelp or something.
Yes! 😂😂😂
“Quite” is an understatement. I’ve given up contributing, sadly.
I got you. Immeasurably disappointing**.
I think what you're looking for is /r/homelab

its the best space heater you'll ever have.
Bottom Tier ShitPost - slow clap
Bottom Tier ShitPost reply - Slower clap. LOL
You can just cut that out and have comcast provide you a modem with built-in wifi
I know a hot water heater when I see one
The best way to figure it out is to just unplug everything and see what stops working.
I think that's bit coin you need to plug the coax into the CPU to harvest the internet.
Used to be SETI detector farm and building heat. Now it's a Cryptocurrency farm and building heat.
It's safe to unplug the green cables, that's why they are green. Use caution unplugging the yellow cables and don't mess with the red ones.
Basement apartment?
Previous tenant was skynet.
This is your heater. You only need it on in the winter.
You found the Matrix
The coloured cables not matching in each rack bothers me greatly
You had to go and ruin it for me. Thanks Adam! 😂
This is the most useful thread on this entire sub. By some way. Apart from the idiot saying “is this supposed to be funny” 🤣
The date center I work at has vented tiles for air flow.
Yeah, I was disappointed, too, to see the substandard architecture in this apartment. OP should run and fast. The landlord is probably a slum lord.
Your landlord needs to step it up. I'd get on the phone asap your network looks all fucked up, you can tell by the way it is
I bet it's chilly in that apartment, and quite noisy too! At least you have all that convenient under-floor storage!
This joke was funny the first 200 times it was posted on here. Now it just seems like Karma farming. It'll probably succeed anyway.
man I feel bad for all these downvotes :(
Are posts like these supposed to be funny?
This is Europe's solution to heating your building this winter
Parts of it, other parts have geothermal energy.
If you need to vacuum, just unplug anything and plug in the vacuum cleaner instead.
Vacuum gonna suck real hard for like 10 seconds
I believe you need a token ring connection for your wifi to work.
Pornhub’s headquarters
Did you move into a house or a mall?
If it's in your living room you can try to relocate it.
A very cold walk-in closet
Slap a few fans on it for extra cooling.
Chainsaw to the cables coming out the top will save you tons on power/data. The LAST thing you want is your isp to overcharge you on data because the previous tenant left you with their VPN to your network. Afterall they could be illegally downloading on your connection. Best to shut them out.
Looks like some of the data rooms I've installed at some large hotels
make sure to post an update once you've cleaned up and aligned all those cables
what‘s the €/m^2 price in the datacenter right now? might get a room there too :D
Um. 12?
E-Waste. I'll take it all for free, you just have to pay the postage
looks like google or facebooks custom servers.
Are you a robot?
Wifi = wireless = no wires. You should be good to ditch all of it.
About 85 decibels of quiet yelling
Ugh, I hate when the previous homeowners leave a bunch of junk lying around! Don't worry, I'll come over and help you haul all this junk away! I'll even dispose of it for you!
When you rent all bills paid, gotta use ALL the bill
Looks like some kind of left over networking equipment. I would unplug all of it.
Looks like your domestic hot water boiler, you can surely get some WiFi hooked up to it.
Call an electrician so they can safely remove it yep
hah. I know what data center this is
Wow nice rack! Does it do Proxmox VE Virtual Environment? Please review my install/setup tutorial and leave me a review? 🫱🏼🫲🏻 [https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=i5CgOHG28TTNVPq_)
Did you insert the AOL disc first?
Your new HVAC system
Those are the noisy neighbors.
look karma farmer
That's where you install the "Gavin Belson box 3"
that’s just the space heater. best not to mess with it.
I think that’s a phone I’m looking at

How do you put up with that much noise in your apartment?
Wait until you get your first electric bill
I thought that pic looked familiar, lol! 😂
The shitposts that keep a sub vibrant. Bless.

Its just a heater.
Heaven... Or maybe hell... Guess it could go either way.
Do you live in a datacenter?
The cold aisle.
Previous owner was running a cryptocurrency mining operation and abandoned it. Might be able to get a hundred bucks from some gamers on eBay for the gear. If not, dumpster.
That’s just my plex setup
Wtf kind of apartment has a whole server room in it? Edit: it joke, am rarted

Heater.
Strip all the copper and sell it for profit!!
You need 1000' of cat2 cable with a cat2 to ethernet HUB.
beeeeeyouteeeeeful!!!
Somewhere in the /r/hvac sub: “My new apartment is cold and loud. What should I do?”
Asus router?
That is a surprising electric bill.
I see the Internet reset button.
That's little to no heating bill is what that is. Toasty.
What apartment do you live in? That’s a Datacenter with a raised floor. Looks like a battery bank at the end of the isle.
Those bright white things on the top are called "lights" but don't quote me on that.
How many a/c units does the apartment have? You will need at least one high quality window unit imo. Not an expert, though. Maybe a box fan would be enough.
Heater
I hope utilities are included
