Another quarantine project complete!

Finished product, a hand-built 20U server cabinet.

This was the previous quarantine project, that needed an actual server rack instead of sitting on a shelf.

Mostly cable managed... dig that fan wall.

Working on the shell. I decided on a darker stain for the exposed insides - not sure it was worth the effort. Also, pocket screws!

Partially built shell sitting on top of the rack itself.

And another coat. This was probably coat number five. I think I did about 10 all told - once sanding back down to wood :(

Concealed hinges were intimidating, but so easy with this Kreg jig.

Like a glove!

Detail of cutout.

Door complete, stained, and finished - here I’m just shimming up where I want it.

And complete! Door was much easier to hang than I thought it was going to be. Not too shabby. Need a handle still.

I found a pretty cool metal mesh for the door. 19 plug PDU - should have no problems with power. Couldn’t resist some accent lighting.

Had a lot of fun with this one! All that’s left is to move it into the house and get the Supermicro (and my other gear) mounted inside.
