So - I literally don't even have a rack! My servers, two 1U machines... an old 
Dell tower as a PBS... a BASIC switch [that I'm upgrading ATM] and a couple 
other small devices; RPi 4, HUE Hub, etc - all live under my spare bedroom bed. 










































































































I route the ethernet and all connections and everything lays on the wood floor. 








































































































Temps are ok, and the sound isn't insane - just shut the door... and, its warm 
in the winter!

Point is, you can make a server room out of whatever you have/want;

You can stick with those NUCs that you like - run what ya brung and create the 
homelab that works for you!
