The journey to custom-build a server rack started out when our scheme owner wanted to combine mounts and space for Lcd monitors, frame grabbers, Kvm devices, and other equipment. Working in a data center, we already had partner agreements with several rack equipment manufacturers, but none could offer us anything beyond the thorough 19" rack frame in thorough configurations with 0.5U-8U size shelves.
The main idea behind having the new racks was to sort and originate all the external equipment without it getting cluttered. All but a few server rack manufacturers that I contacted said they are unable to enlarge the rack by an additional one inch and furnish space for equipment mounts. The ones that said they would do it gave me quotes that were higher than the cost of the equipment that would be stored on the rack. So, it was time to think covering the box and look for manufacturers of server, equipment, and other racks and shelving units that would be able to help me out.

After a long time browsing the web, I came over a slate of T-slotted aluminum profile manufacturers, that promised to sell me any custom rack, cabinet, table, or shelving unit. For those that don't know, T-slotted aluminum profiles or frames are pretty much the strongest lightweight material you can use for a scheme like this. For the most part, it looked like my rack would cost me under 0, which is a inexpensive price for a well-built piece of equipment. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with our new server rack, as it allows us to store all our equipment, sort the cluttered cables, and was very easy to assemble.
