How janked would you say is welding a metal bracket to the case instead of trying to source the correct rails for server hardware?
Asking for a friend of course. No server cases or brackets have been harmed (yet).

Thinking about setting up a KVM. I'm sick of rearranging my rack everytime I need to access a server...
Any KVM switch recomendations? And has anyone tried #pikvm
My oven is *not* 19 inch wide and rack spacing is *not* 1.75 inches. Hm. Must be non-standard oven.
Why does negative space not exist? I could use some.
Anyone tipps for how to fit 933 mm (36,75 Inches) into a rack that is only 584mm (23 Inches) deep?
Will be fun to figure something out I guess...

Note to self, when building a (home lab) rack with generic rails instead of the ones the components originally shipped with, account for leaving exactly one gap hole between each of the components.
A 1-2mm rail does not fit in between 2HE servers/disk-arrays that are exactly 2HE. Especially not when you try to replicate this 3-4 times right next to each other.
Shit...
Anyone having a pair of these laying around?
How exactly do you mount them into a rack? Also is it true that they can get as small as 560mm? The smallest I can get them is 600mm. Am I doing something wrong or did the seller lie to me about their dimensions?!?
I've put the case in the rack. Didn't have rails, so it sits at the bottom. If I get Home Assistant working on TrueNAS, the Pi will be taken out. And if TrueNAS runs ok, the Synology will go to another place to act as a backup location. #TrueNAS #ServerRack

After completing most of my second #10inchrack which was going to house my #RaspberryPi #Kubernetes cluster I've decided to go a different route. I'm building a 1U unit to house the Raspberry Pi's, so I'll have to figure out what to do with this little guy :nkoThink:

Just cleaned and re cable managed my entire server rack... That was rough lol.
Whole thing is clean now and ready for me to put a rack mounted switch in now, looks a bit crappy because I don't have any patch cables atm which I will get when I get the switch BUT it's all managed and ready for the switch to be just dropped in!
Nyt rackskab 19“ 12u. Spændende at samle, og de 2 hylder drillede mig lidt at montere. Havde købt en børste til kabel åbningen i bunden, men den var for lang 🤔😕 Så den er monteret forkert, inden i. Men funktionen er som den skal være. Har monteret hjul neden under, praktisk hvis jeg skal rykke lidt på den, og praktisk fordi kabelåbningen sidder i bundpladen. Ikke særlig kønt, ingen af enhederne er jo rack-format. Men det går an for nu. 😉 Gode tips er velkomne 😃 #rackkabinet #serverrack #homelab
Project #minirack is done :)
The goal was to have a nice "living room capable" 10" rack to hold my #homeasssitant box with a touch display for smart home control, a network switch and a UPS.
And no it is not living in the livingroom now, nor was it planned ;) I could have moved the network wiring to the back/inside, but in the end it needed a little nerd factor.
Mostly made from laser cut plywood in #kumiko pattern that I spray painted black, and some 3D printed parts. All self designed/built except for the metal rails in the corners.
And did I mention it's ALL powered by USB-C PD internally? 😍
