JLC3DP 3D Printing Starts at $0.3, Up to $70 New User Coupons Here: https://jlc3dp.com/?from=dss Should you buy the DeskPi RackMate T1, or build your own 10 inch home server rack? In this video, I compare the RackMate T1 with the timber rack I built, to see which is better value, has better features, and has better build quality. The DeskPi rack is easy to assemble and looks nice, but is expensive and has some design compromises, while building your own allows you to pick a design that works best for you, costs less, but has other tradeoffs.
