Homelab 10" mini-rack v2

Logan Marchione built his mini rack out of 20x20 extruded aluminium and it looks great. I had the same idea myself, but wasn't sure if the dimensions would line up with the mini-rack standards by Jeff Geerling s that seems to be what most products are designed for. Logan was able to buy 1U shelves, and a 1U patch panel off Amazon and confirmed they do indeed fit!

I discovered this post through a very negative Hackernews comments section of another mini-rack post using 20x20 aluminium extrusion. This other post, by Louwrentius, uses their own shelves rather than buying ones online.

Another note, I wanted to tally up the cost of building my own mini-rack from extruded aluminium and both posts seem to come out to be quite expensive.
