A Mini Rack for Your Home!



I decided to go with another rack in my home but this time much smaller! Thanks to Rackstuds for sending a few packs of Rackstuds!

    Yep , it's perfect for my dream HOMELAB and the best part is it's available in India 🇮🇳 🙂😉😊

    I have the 18U one of these and agree with pretty much all of the points. It currently has my 2 retired gaming PCs that are now servers, Unifi UDM Pro, Unifi Aggregate Switch, Unifi 16 port switch, Synology RS1221+ and a 4x Raspberry pi 1U panel but only with 2 Pis because they were like hens teeth last year when I wanted to get two more Pis…

    The depth of this cabinet really makes it a struggle to find NASes or rack mount servers, which means I paid a premium getting the Synology because I wanted something that could be rack mounted. I do want to retire the ex gaming PCs though, but I need to find some low power/small form factor PCs that I can install 10GB SFP+ cards in.

    I have the same rack in black. I use it for printer and scanner that are on pull out shelves. Also houses my UPS and a switch. I currently have my PC sitting on top of it but am thinking about getting a Sliger or SilverStone 4U rack mount case and moving my PC into it…problem is I like looking at my pretty PC ;). Looking forward to see how you use yours.

    not sure how tim got this rack for 210 US lol its currently 'discounted' to 240 plus shipping. Shady price manipulation if you ask me.

    yo my dude! which keystones did you use for the ui patch panel? looks like shielded keystones? Do you have cat 6a shielded cable throughout your house? if so, how did you ground the patch panel? Thanks for all the content you make man, its awesome!

    Nice rack bro

    (0:02) I love that case, using one myself.

    So much room to work around in, so easy to clean, and even bays for DVD drives or whatever other SATA stuff you want.

    4:43 This was the first time I heard of RackStuds. THANK YOU for mentioning them on your video. Life changing!

  11. @gomezadams9900

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    I hear that term "u" thrown out a lot but I'm unfamiliar what it means. Can someone please clarify this for me

  12. @Altirix_

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    £325 yeah for under £100 i built my own rack of the same size using 2020 extrusions and some plywood. no door mind you but i doubt it would cost £225 more to build one.

  13. @WevOppy

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    The $210 price tag, is why I just bought one!

  14. @BelieveInTheLordJesus777

    Too bad it can't be found in the UK… 🙁

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    Hey @TechnoTim. Could you do an airflow and sound test on this sysracks please? Thank You – I am looking to install a 4U rackmount server + network switch and was wondering how good with keeping it cool would be.

    If you have a 3D printer, you can go even more "mini" with a 10 inch rack. There's enough room for Mini-Itx boards and small switches, but you have to 3D print all the enclosures if you don't want to use the generic shelves.

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    Been using a mini rack for my home network and servers and it was the best thing I did. Have everything centralized in 1 place whilst keeping it all tidy

    Rack stud is what they use to call me back in school.

  19. @sysdom

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    @TechnoTim the casters you have linked have the wrong size bolts for this rack. I ordered both using your links, and the caster bolts fall right through the case holes without contacting the threads. Not sure if sysracks or the caster vendor changed the bolt size, but I wanted to give you a heads up as anyone using your links will gets casters that don’t fit this rack!

  20. @nebulousJames12345

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    Good to know it has dust prevention where the wires go in. Guess dust doesn’t go in the 360 hole setup

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    @TechnoTim would you ever do a video on short depth servers ? Cause whilst a lot of people do have space for the deeper racks, some don't! Trying to find servers that will fit within those shorter racks seems to be an increasingly difficult challenge!

  24. @RayanMufti

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    Wish I saw this before completing re-racking my setup

  25. @aflury

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    I've been idly fantasizing about buying my own 19" rack since the 90s…still don't need one… still… don't…need…

  26. @michaelevan9184

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    That looks exactly what I'm looking for… thanks for posting!

  27. @majorgear1021

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    How do you know what capacity UPS to get? of there a table of device to VA requirements to make the calculation easier?

  28. @nerdcastles

    September 24, 2024 at 8:46 pm

    Hey Tim. I got this but it is too loud for the fan in my room. What kind of temp sensor setup would you recommend? Thanks

Why you should or shouldn't buy used servers!



Bob Pellerin (CTOBOB) looks into what to look for in a used server. Reliable machine can be had. Keep in mind that the more recent a server is, the most likely it will run newer operating systems.

The parts most likely to fail on serves are:
– Drives
– Power supplies
– Fans
