Linus and the crew tackle the age-old DIY vs. buy debate by turning a bargain IKEA LACK table into a sleek 8U server rack with Reliable Hardware rails, all in the name of saving cash for more gear. Sponsored by Micro Center and UGREEN, they map out their plan, run through multiple build iterations, and even subject the rig to a “Linus Test” to see if it’s sturdy enough for home-lab and music setups.
Between design tweaks, surprise hiccups, and cheeky commentary, the video is a fun, play-by-play tutorial on how to hack your own rack, cut costs, and still end up with something that looks and performs like the real deal.
