Looking for recommendations on a rack. - sh.itjust.works

I may be inheriting a server(s) that is about 27" in depth (2-4u) and a storage solution that’s about 4u, depth not clear at this time, and I want to potentially put a ups in the rack. Maybe a managed switch as well, and potentially room to also put a modem/router in as well. I would like it to be wheeled around if needed. Who makes quality but budget racks that would satisfy those things? I’m thinking 12u? I’d like to have just a little extra room. Is there a known spot where things like this are sold used? Any help appreciated.

budget? kiln-dried spruce 2x4 and vertical rack rails. they come in multiple lengths.

I built mine like this along with some 400pound rated castors, and some 1/4in MDF sheets to cover it.

I love it tbh. I’ve got all my network infra in its own cabinet inside that has its own cooling vents separate from the servers, that also have their own cooling, that are separate from power dist/batteries that have their own cooling.

been running fine for almost 9 years now.

the sides are paneled so it’s really easy to take one off and do any cable mgmt too.

I’ve been at it for hours looking at wooden builds and I think I’m going to make this fucker.
