I do not know the market well, maybe $300-400 USD (very flexible) and it will be tucked into a closet

I think your supposed to buy server rails sepratley. For example if you have a HP server you need to buy dedicated rails from HP

This particular one comes in either 12U or 25U, however there are a million other variants of this in about an U size you want: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Adjustable-Levelers-Management-4POSTRACK25U/dp/B00O6GNLQE/

 

Rails are case dependent, however some require square hole racks so its best to get one over the threaded holes. Square hole racks use cage nuts to give you threads so if you strip or cross thread one you can just swap it rather than having to avoid using that bad hole ever again.

star tech adjustable server rack, i have a 12U one and it is excellent. The depth can be adjusted so you can accommodate servers of different lengths and it has wheels and capable of withstanding 500Kg.
