you know where to find server case that fit in that rack? I want transform gaming case

short server case quite hard to find, especially when my wall mounted server enclosure is less than 550mm
I settled for a 1U short depth supermicro case (recycled) (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.cf992e8dQYVnSh&id=572750465193&_u=k2v7300vd415)

also got a 480W platinum plus rated PSU for short depth supermicro case (PWS-441P-1H), basically building a Frankenstein supermicro (https://store.supermicro.com/480w-1u-pws-441p-1h.html) (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.cf992e8dQYVnSh&id=636335216874&_u=k2v7300va6c0)

this is just enough to the "mm" to fit a dual socket supermicro mobo that I bought, combined with 1U low profile copper heatsink and short depth high rpm 1U fans with two SATA SSD (3.5" HDD cannot fit into the case)



those mobo mounting are for certain single CPU mobo size. had to remove and reconfigure some of them to mount the dual socket mobo




keyword on Taobao is 短机箱

but I would recommend not doing 1U, basically the fans are too damn noisy

Look nice!

too bad my server is full height:

I have 4 × 1TB SSD in RAIDz2 (TrueNAS + PCIe SATA Passthrough)

and 1 × 10TB HDD



at least need 4U server rack with ATX screw.

If I managed to get proper server case then I use proper server rack instead of metal rack

sorry interject here, since my RB3011 died because of port flop, plan to buy RB5009 but out of stock, so I bought ER-12 while waiting RB5009 become available

Get CCR series better.
I am using RB5009 but now i more recommend CCR for more cpu core. (Because of IPsec performance not good with RB5009 and WG setting got abit problem)

Which CCR are you recommend?

CR2004-1G-12S+2XS is good?

I like to use SFP XPON ONU Stick, some router have compatibility issue.

a proper rack would be great, but if you are still stuck with short ones, there are also 2U/4U ones (for e.g.: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...=4708406741179)


on the side note, I think I remember seeing somewhere where you mentioned your friend helps you to host something in JP?
was wondering how he/she deals with the IPv6 setup there, specifically to the issue where stupid Japanese ISP only gives out /64 addresses (at least MY ISP didn't screw up this part )

I can't even properly firewall the IPv6 side since they are connected L2 bridge mode

seems like one way to do it is via ND proxy but Mikrotik doesn't have ND proxy, I think Ubiquiti also doesn't have them either

You need so many SFP Port?

For me i prefer CCR2004-16G-2S+,maybe because i dont need so many SFP port,(And also I though S+RJ10 or similar adapter quite hot?)

yes, S+RJ10 runs ungodly hot even in winter can't run them without active cooling

That case very blank~ I guess put case in horizontal

yes, JP give IPv6 /64 only, but my friend disable IPv6

Malaysia also same, give only /64, which is very bad.

Currently I use ND proxy, Android hate DHCPv6, both Mikrotik and Ubiquiti do have ND
here, I use ND Proxy on my RB3011: https://www.hitoha.moe/mikrotik-ipv6-over-pppoe/

added haxxor word, I do like this with IPv6:



not really, but doing 10GbE networking is nice tho, 1GbE hardly over-saturated SSD NAS.

Indeed SFP run hot even SFP XPON ONU can reach 61°C, Realtek SoC + Laser is very hot, pumping ~3dB back to TM OLT,

ah, but damn..without ipv6, the congestion is really bad at peak period mine is an IPv6 only IPOE connection (dual stack via ds-lite), can't avoid it

eh? I thought MY gives out prefix? because my DHCP client gets the prefix from TM/Maxis and mikrotik side assigns the v6DHCP addresses from the prefix pool to the rest of the LAN devices (if I understands it correctly)

will try setting it again after going through your guide


my S+RJ10 runs at 88 celsius at low load, even with small heat sinks pasted to it

S+RJ10 should be getting more higher temp than normal SFP adapter so i still not going to play around with it..
maybe next few year got better chip or solution then at that time,i will try to get one for use. (Future-maybe with CCR router )

I tried /60 /52 /48 none of them are working... cannot do multiple subnet if like this, isolate IoT Device and PC's

ND is pretty simple, it use device MAC Address as IP Address, or IPv6 Token like this 2001:d08:e6:44fa::1000

many my web-server use IPv6 only to Cloudflare, no need HAProxy or Traefik.

There is 4U short server case that fits in 550mm depth like this one https://shopee.com.my/4U-SERVER-CASING-~-NA...2152.7940837552

If you are on unifi/maxis biz they give out /56 prefix to you.

and stingy Time only /64

I have tried to modify office unifi (@unifibiz) router with /56, not working... this need to request?

Yes try request it manually.

Yesterday I went and buy RB5009


after finish configure


that USB cable is Maxis 4G Dongle

problem with 7.x DCHPv6-PD not working, it keep searching...

DHCPv6-PD problem only happens on PPPoE VLan... I also waiting mikrotik to solve it,but i think maybe need wait half year to one year until they solve other ROS7 issue first...
Mikrotik forum got workaround to mitigate the issue,but i dont know how to do without additional device.(Someone said add another switch that handle vlan can mitigate it)

Where got stock ?

May consider switching ER-12 -> RB5009... Afterall I'm more used to Mikrotik settings compared to Ubiquiti CLI.

Wonder what's the 2nd hand ER-12 price right now...
