Not sure if anyone has done this before but… You’ve seen the IKEA Lack rack, well this one is made from an IKEA Eket. It’s made with 1in square dowels, and some washers between the dowels and rack rails to bridge the gap. The PDU is just a flush mount desk power strip with its sides trimmed. Overall goal with this project was to make the cheapest presentable 10” rack. Overall cost of the Eket, Dowel, screws, and vertical rails was around $50. IKEA recently dropped the price of the Eket by $5 so today it would be $45
Not much on it currently, just a managed 2.5G POE switch, U6 Enterprise and a MOCA adapter since my home isn’t wired with RJ45.
If anyone is genuinely interested in a parts list I’ll leave a comment below.
(Ignore the upside down rack shelf, the switch was too fat. I’ll have to make custom rack ears for it)
