Home Server Rack

Just recently, I started transferring my work over to a home server. I started buying some used servers and now, I need somewhere to put them. I currently have a 1U processing machine and a 2U storage server. I have the 2 servers on a little stool under my desk. I don't have space for a big rack and don't need anything more then 6-12Us. I'd prefer to buy something used or cheap because I am running lightweight stuff. I don't rely on this stuff for business, I just have them to improve the quality of my projects. Does anyone have any suggestions for racks that I can put on the floor? Thanks!

Get a small rack then. You can get 12U racks. You can get ones that are just frames for far cheaper. 

Such as this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Adjustable-Levelers-Management-4POSTRACK12U/dp/B00P1RJ9LS/
