I've built my last 4 pairs of speakers from designs from the internet. Currently running a pair of John Krutke's (Zaph Audio) ZRT 2s in a sealed standmount enclosure. I generally find you can build a pair of speakers that will easily outperform commercial designs costing many times more. Currently have all the bits to build a pair of Troels Gravesen's "Poor Man's Strad" including enough weave and resin to wrap the finished cabinets in shiny black carbon fibre. Hoping I'll finally make a proper start to them in late summer)early autumn.
I generally make most of my own cables, hi-fi racks etc. and recently assembled 2 X RPi endpoints running Ropiee with touchscreen and powered via PoE.
Do all of my own networking stuff too and getting fairly adept at installing temperature controlled fans into network cabinets. The first photo is the enclosure to replace my untidy setup in the kitchen cupboard. Can't fit a proper network cabinet in there, so welded up my own box from chequerplate. 2 X 24 port Cat6 patch panels, Ubiquiti UDM Pro and Dell X1052P to go in there. Second photo is the server cab in my office. Synology RS3617xs Rackstation and RX1217 which host my Roon core, Plex server and look after all of the IP cameras and file storage live in there, plus the network switch and my water-cooled desktop PC now in a Silverstone rack mount case.
