Here's a rough crude one a friend and i are building ..should be done in a week or two..
http://homemadeserverrack.blogspot.com/
Here's one I built back in '05.
Back with brace, which isn't really needed if there's a system on the bottom.
The rails are staggered front and back, I had planned on putting a switch facing out the rear above the top system. Never got to that point, and as of right now only have two systems running in the rack. One of these days I'll pull the cases and move the rails up a bit, right now the bottom system sits on the wood on the bottom and is very difficult to remove. That'll also give me a chance to do more bracing in the interior.
Eventually I'm going to build myself a new desk, and will have two 14u racks acting as the bases. My current rack is only 24" deep. The desk racks will be at least 30" deep, have doors, and have their own exhaust fans.
nice...looks good...looks like we had the same idea in mind..i'm waiting for some 1u panels i got off ebay for 5 bucks..and also a good 2950 cisco switch
