I wonder how easy it is to get used server racks, and how cheap they are ๐ค
I reckon the electricity is the real killer (and the noise!)
Definitely the noise. Jesus Christ the noise...
And heat
I found one on craigslist. Half rack fully enclosed with door on front and back for $200. Had an UPS in the bottom that didn't work... it just needed new batteries lol.
Have a truck on hand to pick up and you can find a bargain.
You can get them pretty cheap if you're patient.
Personally I use the IKEA alternative. It works really well.
I meant with the servers too, not just an empty rack.
