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.
I’ve heard a lot of people like the LackRack, that is if you have an IKEA nearby.

LackRack V3
LackRack V3 - Cheaper, stronger, complies with standards! Inspired by the original LackRack - Eth0Wiki and later revisions NiBuch LackRack-20xx, I decided to improve on these designs with real rack mounts.
Plan Few issues with the original designs:
Required reinforcing the legs with wood -> bit of a hassle. Rack equipment rarely has round rack ears -> finding good wood screws is a major issue. Wood screws and high tech electronics dont go hand in hand. Depending on config, has protruding equipment -> fiber connector danger! What I want:
Between this and the 3d printer cabinets made from Lacks, Ikea really made an underrated table.
