Just curious, with my down to the penny server rack build, if anybody has managed to fabricate a solid 4 post shelf using nothing but common parts from your local hardware store that more or less create a bolt together solution.
I cant see the need to pay $50+ for something so basic. I get it for fancy sliding shelves and server rails, but a single shelf? You can buy entire industrial grade shelf kits for that kind of money.
I'll take a stab at it this weekend, but looking forward to any feedback and hints of what to look for before I get there.
The last resort would be some 90 degree metal brackets going directly into some 1" thick wood also with a metal bracket for support, but that requires using wood and cutting. My ultimate goal is strictly bolt together w/ nothing but basic tools like a screwdriver and ratchet.
