Server Racks Cost Too Much – Buy or DIY?
Linus and the team wrestle with the sticker shock of commercial server racks and decide to put a DIY twist on a classic IKEA LACK hack. By combining a LACK table with Reliable Hardware RH-8-SRR-A 8U rack rails, they build a budget-friendly home lab and music gear rack, running through multiple build rounds, tweaks, and the infamous “Linus Test” to make sure it holds up.
Along the way they share shopping links (Micro Center, UGREEN NAS), chat about the rules and plan, and drop chapter markers for easy navigation. Whether you’re into saving cash for more gear or just a fan of geeky DIY projects, this one’s packed with tips and laughs.
