(sorry, I couldent think of a better name :P )

 

What would be a nice rack for my house that can hold my storage server and my networking stuff? (Router, switch, modem .etc)

 

I don't really want a lack rack, I want a real rack..

 

I would like it to be as cheap as possible and from a Canadian site please! 

 

Thanks! :D

How many U's do you think you need?

Does anyone even use PCIe SSDs?

You are currently running a laptop right now...and you always complain about budget.

How in the world are you going to afford so many servers?

25 is nearly 3/4 of an entire rack. An entire rack normally has 3 phase power and 10 gigabit supply. 

 

The power bill for running a rack that size would be huge.

I want to leave some space for upgrades, I will probably use like 6 at the start

"use like 6?" what do you have right now and what are you planning to add? I would look at something between 8 and 12U rather than 25.. 

Does anyone even use PCIe SSDs?

I was going to have a 4U server and a few switches .etc. I have multiple servers that will go in there also once I get the cases

To be honest a rack would be a waste of money and may be worth more that the equipment in it (assuming it was cheap ebay servers) you would be better off building a lack rack.

Startech may have what your looking for, however I haven't used it yet, so i'm not sure how good or bad it is but it should work for what you need.

Looks like it is available at a few resellers here in Canada. You can get bigger, but I would stick with a 12u and go from there. Looks like it will include cage nuts and bolts as well.
