In this video, Linus and the team tackle the sticker shock of commercial server racks by whipping up a budget-friendly DIY alternative. They grab an IKEA LACK table, Reliable Hardware 8U rails, and walk through planning, assembly, and multiple test runs—including the infamous “Linus Test”—to see if their custom rack can hold up to real-world lab and music gear.
The build is powered by sponsors like Micro Center (check out their monthly sales) and UGREEN’s NAS DH2300 deals, with bonus shout-outs to Secretlab, PIA VPN, and dbrand. If you want parts lists, build tips, or just some frugal engineering inspiration, their forum thread has everything you need.
