Server Racks Cost Too Much – Buy or DIY?
Ever wondered if you can save big on server racks for your home lab and music gear? Linus and the team pit store-bought units against their own spin on the classic IKEA LACK + rack-rail hack, laying out the rules, design plan and parts (like the RH-8-SRR-A rails) before diving into build rounds and tweaks.
Through multiple attempts and a final “Linus Test,” they compare cost, stability and ease of assembly to see if that cheap DIY rack really holds up—or if you’re better off just buying one. Spoiler: you’ll learn exactly how much money (and elbow grease) you can save by going the DIY route.
