I watched ads for local companies liquidating server rooms, and walked away with a 42u Dell rack for a pretty good bargain. Took a couple months of monitoring though.
UniFi UDM SE router + USW Pro HD switch + U7 Pro XG access point. 10gb SPF+ fiber ports go BRRR.
ThinkServer RS140, circa 2014. Has a capture card in it, and it's sole purpose is a headless analog video capture server, running antiX.
RetroTINK 4k + Kramer A/V switcher. Upstream of the RS140.
A cheap Panasonic VCR, while I get my new dedicated deck serviced.
CyberPower OR2200PFCRT2U 2000VA UPS. I need to see about getting a second one.
4x Pi rack. One bay has a PiKVM in it that can be patched into whatever headless server I may need to at the moment. A second bay has a 4B in it that's waiting for a PoE hat, so that I can turn it into a wifi hotspot that backs up my dashcam footage while my car is in the garage.

Very tight. You must work out.

Hot damn do I want a rack, but I can’t find anything reasonably priced. X.x
By reasonable, I mean “unreasonably cheap”.

First off, that's good wire management. Can you say what is actually in that cabinet?

Thank you. I have a handful of things populating this rack:
Maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting.

God damn, that's impressive. Congrats on the great setup.
