well... racks are INSANELY overpriced, so your best bet would be getting whatever you can find from an auction.

For this use I'd suggest looking at audio equipment racks. The width and hole spacing is identical for IT and audio racks. You can get two post racks meant to use on stage and put that on your desk.

Something like this or this should fit your needs. Generally look for a server rack that's 6U and 19" width. The 600mm depth is the smallest one for 19", I think..

I made mine out of wood and holds 2 computers in rack mounted cases and 3 switches and all of my studio rack mounted equipment and costed me about $30 for wood and metal to make it

Well actually, there is also 10" which is commonly used for network equipment outdoors and sometime indoors. They will usually fit patch panels, media converters, smaller switches and other gear. Wall mount only.
