Linus Tech Tips (LTT): Server Racks Cost Too Much - Buy or DIY?

Ever wondered if you can score big savings by DIY-ing your own server rack? Linus and crew grab an IKEA LACK table, stick on some budget-friendly rack rails, and run through multiple build attempts—complete with messy insides and a final “Linus Test”—to see if their homemade rig can rival a store-bought unit.

They break down costs, share links to all the gear (IKEA table, Reliable Hardware rails, sponsors) and even point you to a forum discussion, proving that with a bit of elbow grease you might just trade dollars spent on racks for new lab and music equipment.
