I love seeing the server on an Ikea table next to a paragraph about how expensive racks are. Did you know about Lack Rack? https://web.archive.org/web/20230131031301/https://wiki.eth0...



I do! I just haven't had the time to measure everything and find the right screws and table.


Careful, once you go down that IKEA hacking rabbit hole, it can be hard to stop buying cheap furniture.

It is cool but Ikea used to be cheap but now they have significantly lowered the product quality and also increased the prices on top of that, atleast in Australia.


Yes the cheap stuff isn't good anymore and the good stuff isn't cheap


So that's what it's called! Thanks!


Key point from that link; IKEA's swapped the materials round to use a lot more of that honeycombed hollow stuff, which makes it less than ideal for drilling or holding heavy equipment.


This is annoyingly common in a lot of furniture, including desks. Anyone who's thinking of drilling their desk to put in a desk-clamp monitor mount: make sure the desk is solid, first!
