Introducing the Re-Cyber-Lab (https://blog.solarcene.community/posts/2025-11-20-introducing-re-cyber-lab/) which is a small rack of 3x Samsung A5 (a5y17lte) running #postmarketos built into a #pelican case recycled #cyberdeck. It's a combination of lots of current trends including #miniracks and #homelab. I'm currently using it to work on #postmarketos projects.
It certainly ain't perfect and the a5y17lte while chosen as its cheap and not terribly spec'd only has a very old 'downstream' kernel (3.8.140) which has made things a lot harder - so my next job is to 'mainline' it or at least try to.

Inside a yellow pelican case, the black 3D printed shelf with 3 ethernet ports and power, one of the rack shelves is wired up.
