Oh darn I forgot a picture of the sides. The two rop racks have a fan on each side, so 4 fans. I cut holes in the sides for them to fit.
Well executed idea!
Cool idea for repurposing an old file cabinet.
I was gonna say "put the server in the rack for better airflow" but then I scrolled down.
Looks cool and stealthy. Whats kinda keeping me from homelab rn is both the price and the space/looks. You seemingly solved all of that with some creativity.
Yeah old cabinets are super cheap if you buy them second hand, a lot of businesses are just trying to get rid of them. I recommend the extra deep ones.
this is the best lab gore i have ever seen. I love it. super creative!
Are cables running behind the drawers an issue? I would imagine running them through and keeping them from catching on the rails would be a concern.
There is a back rail that holds them.
What's holding the drives in place?
Good ol Velcro. Some underneath, some in between each drive so they stick together and some on top.
Was the cheapest solution I could think of and it offers some build in vibration dampening.
