Anyone have a recommendation for a full-depth rack that's ideally on casters for moving around? Going to keep it my basement and place network equipment, NAS, and servers within.

I have the StarTech rack from Amazon and it’s done well for me. The casters aren’t the best, but I have it on carpet, so they’ll definitely work better on a hard floor.

Hey @Matthew Sanabria jw if you already have full length servers or other full length equipment? I ended up finding a 23" rack on FB marketplace from a local school for cheap. Then I put a harbor freight dolly at the base :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
I'm mostly running mini pcs but did find a server case that would fit a full atx mobo and 3 card gpu! 02ea7fac-7597-4e72-bdc8-e05a7d71a442.jpg

That dolly idea is pretty good. I'm gonna check local listings. I don't yet have full length equipment but I'm due for some upgrades and I'd like to have a full-length rack for that.
