I say “proper” rack because I was going cheap and didn’t realize this one uses threaded holes for mounting instead of the square holes + cage nuts like a big boy rack. (The uprights actually have the square holes on the sides, but the way it assembles, they are just about 1/2" too narrow to accommodate rack mount equipment)

Nothing too crazy… AT&T craptacular modem, Ubiquiti gateway, couple of switches, media server chock full of refurb drives, pihole to keep the ads away, and an ancient laptop for a console. But it was all scattered on some plastic shelving before… Now it’s at least on a wheeled rack where it kinda looks like I know what I’m doing.

Next step is cleaning up the cabinet above it, including a giant mess of coax cables lying in a heap 😅

    Appreciate the suggestions! I love the idea of a modular 1u panel that can swap in various small devices. I think if I had to, I could probably manage to model up something custom, but that is bordering on being not-dull… 😅
