Made from an old filing cabinet.

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.

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.

That is a cool idea 😄 . Are you getting enough airflow?

Oh darn I forgot a picture of the sides. The two rop racks have a fan on each side, so 4 fans. I cut holes in the sides for them to fit.
