I recently came across this fascinating build log: 2020 Rack – Custom Server/PC Rack Using 2020 Extrusions.

I am in talks with the blog author (Kiran) to post a video walkthrough or something similar and he was kind enough to make a video walk through of his guide sometime soon.

It’s an awesome take on building a clean, modular, and accessible server rack from the ground up using aluminum extrusions and open-frame design — ideal for homelabbers, PC builders

Have you built your own server/PC rack?
Whether you went full DIY, modded an IKEA Lack table, or built something out of wood, I’d love to see:

  • Photos of your setup
  • What materials you used
  • Cooling & cable management tips
  • Lessons learned or build guides
Drop your builds, sketches, or notes below — let’s compile a mega-thread of community-built racks!

Bonus: If you’ve done a build log or tutorial, link it too!

right now i dont have any pictures since im in mumbai and my setup is in kolkata, but tbh nothing has changed much. still use a rpi2b as a a2dp sink for my home theatre and a rpi4b as an openwrt router and have two halftops and a nuc running a couple of services no proxmox though prefer baremetal.
