Over the last two years I've been building up my little home networking collection, and have been starting to think if its time to move to a rack mounted cabinet to hold everything in an organized spot.
Currently, I have
- Main Gaming PC
- Work PC
- Synology NAS
- ISP modem
- Wifi Router
- unmonitored switch
- Phillips Hue Controller
So I'd at least need the following
- Rack
- Case for Main PC
- Case for Work PC
- Power Strip
- A rack shelf or two for my non-racked equipment.
Currently, my main PC sits under my desk, and my NAS and work pc are tucked away in my media cabinet. ( not the best for cooling, but its at least out of sight as I have very little open floor space)
I am worried about how much space it would take up, but it would be nice to have everything in one place, with proper cooling.
I'm wondering if there is anything else I should consider, or if its even worth doing since all this stuff adds up quick. ( easily looking at $1000 for everything I would need )
