Server Racks Cost Too Much – Buy or DIY? Linus and the team got fed up with sticker shock on off-the-shelf server racks, so they hacked an IKEA LACK table and RH-8 rack rails into a custom 8U setup. After brainstorming, building, tweaking, and subjecting it to the classic Linus torture test, they prove you can have a rock-solid rack without draining your wallet.
Along the way they sprinkle in part links, lay down build rules, and shout out sponsors like Micro Center and UGREEN—all while keeping it fun and informal. The verdict? DIY is not only cheaper, but it’s also a great weekend project that leaves more dough for the gear that really matters.
