I’ve decided 2024 is the year I build a home lab. Starting from scratch, so I need everything. Rack, network cable, switch, and UPS are what I’m starting with so I can get all my rooms on a wired network. So where are the good deals?

Anything rack related or switches above lower end consumer is rarely on the sales.

If doing a consumer/whitebox build you might find some stuff tho.
Spinners for capacity storage tend to have good deals also.

Supposedly Ubiquiti has the UDM Pro at $279 ($100 off) and the In Wall at $200 off (I think $799).

Best deals at local elections recycling. On a good day, all those are available. May need some work and time to get fully functional, but great learning experience on low budget

Looking for MFF desktop deals. I want to create a container lab, should be low power usage (expensive energy around here) and also should be a USA website.

TIA
