I don’t know if it also happens to you, but I always have this fear (not only the equipment but also the whole freaking house).

I have two Synology NAS devices and one “custom” server (just a PSU, a Ryzen CPU, two RAM sticks and a SSD).

Everything is grounded, on a compliant safety electrical installation, but I don’t know… I’m maybe paranoiac by nature.

My biggest doubt is about the PSU. It is a certified PSU (from Be Quiet! IIRC), that has more than enough power (500W).

    Back when my homelab was a simple Pentium 1, I somehow had a PC Speaker melt down while I was out of the house.

    Since then, it’s been a constant worry that something will catch fire while I’m not at home.

    One of the reasons why I run monitoring, so I can check on the status of things.
