Cool idea for repurposing an old file cabinet.
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.
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.
I was gonna say "put the server in the rack for better airflow" but then I scrolled down.
