TL;DR
Linus and the LTT team got fed up with overpriced server racks and decided to hack an IKEA LACK table into a budget 8U rack using Reliable Hardware Company rails. They walk through planning, measuring, drilling, and a couple of rebuilds, then put their DIY rack through “The Linus Test” to see if it holds up against commercial gear—all while scoring sweet deals from sponsors like Micro Center and UGREEN.
Along the way, they share parts links, chapter markers for easy navigation, and tips on how to save big on lab setups without sacrificing stability or style. Perfect inspo if you’d rather spend on more hardware than on the rack itself!
