Hello Everyone!
For some time now i have been wanting to downsize my home server rack. (Full size 42U). I don't need the space and want something that will fit in my basement. The 42u won't fit and is in my garage currently. However, i couldn't find any 24u full depth racks locally and i couldn't really afford to buy a new one. So i decided to build one!!
I followed these directions mostly, with a few of my own tweaks on the design. DIY Server Rack Plans
I'm not quite done yet, but getting close.
Here's some build pics:
Update: 2/13/18
On the back side i mounted some 2u cable management on the right side to keep the ethernet cables tidy
Put some egg crate sound dampening foam on the insides. Plan on putting some on the top and on the back door.
Up top are some AC Infinity fans for intake and exhaust.
Update: 2/18/18
Added some more sound proofing foam. I may decide to get more, but the stuff isn't cheap...
