Yeah whatever! So not quite what that header image shows but you gotta dream big right?
Anyway, my current home lab is tiny. Bigger than it was a little while ago but still not as good as I’d like. A lot of the parts I bought randomly on eBay or the murder site my local craigslist.

Ummm..what's the benefit of all this again?
Anyway, this is what I’m currently rollin’ with:
So I've finally updated my lab with some better hardware. I'll now have better horsepower to do all the things 🙂
