DIY Server Rack

I have so many old computers and weird devices that it was starting to get out of control. Since throwing stuff away wasn’t an option, a server rack was pretty much my only recourse. Buying a factory built rack was way out of my budget, so my next thought was a DIY project. I’ve seen some guides out there for building server racks before. To be honest, I wasn’t very impressed. Many of them looked flimsy or used wood instead of steel. If you don’t want your rack to collapse, or weigh 200lbs, I would suggest going with a steel frame.

So I ordered some server rack rails and went to the hardware store.
