Having a rack is a massive QOL improvement IMO, I originally had a stack of rackmount servers in an IKEA Lack (LackRack), and it was okay, but the rack is so much nicer.
The only thing I wish I had done was get an enclosed rack to help with noise and dust, rather than just a startech 4 post from Amazon.
And that's a lot of awesome stuff for free!
Enclosed rack are way too expensive tho... For my current setup my servers are sitting on a weird HP 192 port switch, I posted it when I joined lemmy here: https://lemmy.world/post/14870
