Been planning to migrate from my Supermicro monolith server for a while and finally finished the migration. Red thing is opnsense on an APU engine, Lenovos run a proxmox cluster, below is a mini PC with attached JBOD running TrueNAS.
Next step is to get another shelf for my Raspi and openDTU.
I am currently also looking for a 10“ rack. Where did you get this one? It sounds like you are from Germany (at least according to the sticker) and so am I.
Got it in parts from different sources. I've generally been looking for used parts. The rails and screws are from Retourenking, the shelf and the blinds from Kleinanzeigen and the power strips from 25now.
If you're looking for a single source to buy new, check the Assmann Digitus stuff. I think they're available at Amazon.
You can buy the rails by themselves if you wanted to make your own. Using finished lumber works very well if you're handy with tools.
I made my own, but normal size to fit a specific space in my closet.
I made mine like this - https://youtu.be/j8Yq5aWapeg
The mini rack is pretty decent, but I wish that the size decided was a 12" or so rack, so that more computer hardware could fit without the struggle.
I'm sure more stuff will be made the accommodate this scene though.
Since most rackmounts are 3d printed, everyone with a little knowledge could just add 2" to the files. The rails are width-agnostic. The power strips could be hard to find in 12", but I'm sure printing 2" extenders is possible as well!
I think we have the same desk.
It's in a small cabinet, there's no desk in the picture
No shit, the bottom right of my desk has that same outer layer, and placement of hinges as holes for shelves, but I took the door off for ventilation for my PC.
Oh, is it the Ikea one? My wife has that one and it looks very similar indeed! The cabinet is Ikea as well admittedly.
Its not like Ikea standardised that for use in dozens of cabinets ....
Aww it's so cute!
