I have started to acquire parts for my home lab and would like it to be rack mounted. I would like it to have a 6U rack, 19", and it to be black. Not only that, but I would lie to spend a maximum of £60. If anyone has any good recommendations, I would love to hear them.
eBay sellers offer rack rails in U sizes. I have screwed these to painted wood for small racks. If the equipment is build for rack mounting. There are rack shelves. Wood and rails are less than $US 40.
For that price… have you considered the Ikea LACK end tables yet?

I personally use this for my servers. These end tables just so happen to perfectly fit rack mounted servers. I stack two of them. They’re called “lack racks.” Here’s a pic but you can find more online as well:
Where are you located. I have a 25u rack I wanna let go…cheap. I’m in Massachusetts
£60
Guessing UK.
Sorry, as the comment bellow said I am in the UK. Thanks for the offer though.
Can it be cut down? My wood rack aesthetics is starting to get to me. Only need 12U max
No this is a fully enclosed metal server rack on wheels. Cutting it apart would ruin it.
