Network in a Box

hello Internet people, I was watching a YouTube video of this guy's home network setup and he had a really cool cabinet made to house all of his networking hardware. I'm a high school student about to graduate and move out but I have some network back bone that I want to take with me and I'm sure that I will be moving again later on. What I want to do is make a box/cabinet type thing to hold my router, switch, and whatever other hardware I get, that can mount to a wall and I can take from house to house decently easy. Would love to hear some ideas or criticism, eventually I'll have a full design

Sort of like that, but something a little more workable if that makes sense? That looks cool I will admit but that looks like a mini server rack. drt33 has sorta the right idea. I have a 24 port switch that I can mount to the back of the box and then mount the router on the side of it with a surge protector to plug every thing in

It's a box that you mount stuff in.... go buy some wood and finish it yourself or buy a server rack? There's not much more too it.

Yes, that is just a box, the point is what can I improve on and what else can I add to it to make it something awesome.
