In this video, I build a network rack from scratch, explaining each step along the way and why I'm doing it this way. This video is for a home network, not a commercial space, so I've simplified some of the steps. I made this video for beginner builders, so I try not to assume that you've built a lot of them and are looking for general advice. The main lesson you'll want to take away here is to carefully organize your main assembly before you dive in. If you start haphazardly, you'll find it harder and harder to keep the rack under control as you go.

Below are the items I used in this video – these are Amazon links to help me out, but of course you don't have to use them.
