ebay

Im flabbergasted this costs 130 bucks and this is by far the cheapest. Im seeing them in then 200-400 dollar range.

This is a basically angled aluminum with holes and should cost 50-60 bucks...the material is probably 20 bucks, if that.

I have some full-size racks and may be willing to give to you (need to check with guys at the office). Would you be interested?

Are you looking to chuck full size servers in there?

I used to have one of those smaller networking racks stuffed full of servers that was only like $70. Some old pics from when I first moved in to my house




Now I just have a 20 core/40 thread space heater with 128gb of ram in a single regular case

I find server racks for free on Facebook market on the regular. They're kinda tough to get rid of because there isn't a huge market for them around here.

CarRamrod has never met an excuse he didn't like to go new tools.

well this is my A/v Cabinet and im shopping for a USG pro4. so i figured moving to the USG ill get their switch as well and place on a server rack. then get some shelvs to place all my home automation hubs and a.v receiver on. my workhorse commuter is still in a tower what would sit beside it. and yes i do plant to ventilate the cabinet.

Sounds like a reason to buy more tools to build a bench. Wranglerstar on YouTube built a cool bench, although some people hate him, he did a good job with the build.
