Racking my Home Lab

Published at 2026-04-20

I managed to find a new rack from Facebook marketplace. It is a 24U Dell Precision rack. It costs like 1500 dollars new but I bought from the guy for 150 dollars. The rack was bigger than I thought. When I bought it, it would not fit my car's trunk. Luckly, many parts of the rack can be taken apart, such as the back cage and side pannels. The rack also has wheels which helps tremendasly when moving it. Everything is made of steel or aluminum, very solid. It came with all the accessories brand new. In the mean time, I have also sourced a new UPS for my home lab. I will write a post about the UPS later.
