Introduction
IntroductionIn May of 2018 I built a 14U wooden rack frame, while working fine it was a very rudimentary build with no flair, heck not even rails (equipment was fastened directly to the wood).
In the beginning of 2020 as nothing more than wishful thinking, I began designing a rack cabinet in SketchUp. Beginning as a 24U cabinet (2 revisions), shifting to a 20U cabinet (3 revisions), then 12U cabinet (3 revisions), then dual 12U desk (2 revisions) and finally settling back on 12U rack cabinet (4 more revisions). Based on the EIA/ECA-310-E specification, I started with the Z-Series rails from Star Case and included all the features I wanted in a cabinet.
