Hi All
I think I have managed to confuse everyone! All I want is the case
rather than the actual server. I want to fit my desktop into the case
along with a Raspberry Pi and Network switch.
Buying a server rack to mount one PC, a RPi, a network switch and _save_
space is not going to work out the way you'd like it to I suspect...
It doesn't really make sense - rack enclosures themselves are big to
_really_ big and you've got to find space to put it somewhere. A hell of
a lot more space than your PC, switch and RPi will be taking up already
for sure. This would only make sense if you were also then adding a lot
of other gear to the rack as well - like A/V gear or PDU/UPS stuff, etc.
Check out standard Rack Units online first for an idea of what you're
getting yourself into!
Presuming this is still in the pre-planning stage and you haven't
actually got any hard requirements yet can I suggest having a look at
something a bit more reasonable like a wall mounted smaller rack:

You can stick something like that on a sturdy wall somewhere convenient
and have probably more than enough room to tuck all your equipment away
in one place. If you genuinely need more space than that and room for
full depth equipment then:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Adjustable-Casters-Levelers-Management/dp/B00P1RJ9LS
But this is all probably way, way overkill. Are you just looking to
rearrange some of your general home computing kit and save a bit of
space by any chance? Because there are much better ways to do that.
Cheers
