Barring buying new, maybe troll your local Craigslist - sometimes racks turn up there. Here's a 25U Open Rack Cabinet on Amazon for ~$230. But it also needs to be as cheap as possible of a build, and if possible can be built over time. But as it sits right now, there's certain times I'm limited to 360p because my poor server just can't keep up with the load as is. My ISP is not a concern, my other equipment shouldn't be too much a concern. Probably will need between 15-20u in height to accomodate future upgraded rack switches, PDU's, and probably mount my receiver in there.īut my concerns are if my ideas on hardware will get the job done. What about the entire rack cabinet though? Where would I find one for cheap, the cases I'm looking at are 25" deep and the cabinets on ebay are only like 19" deep. Old server will be repurposed once first one is built as NAS with a dual core celeron or something, and eventually upgrade the RAID. VM's will be switched to Windows 10 and Hyper-V instead of Windows 10 and VirtualBox. One More of the above rigs for all other VM's that I use, and any extra. Two of the above for Plex Servers, one for 4k only content the other for 1080 and less and other (TV / Music) Whatever size rack case this will fit in and appropriate PSU's

I also need more and less old storage (my current server was built in January 2014 I believe and on 24/7 since). I also intend on growing my Plex server (biggest problem here) so that it can do multiple 4k streams. My uses are primarily VM's, I like multiple full on desktop environments of Windows available for various uses. I need some help sourcing some parts for cheap (? below). But my intention is to build something new to replace it, as cheaply as possible. So, my home server (specs below) is getting a tad weak, and I might possibly have things setup wrong.
