+After building a mini rack that included an entire Homelab, I decided to build 2 more custom mini racks that focus solely on networking.

+
+## Info
+
+Thank you to DeskPi for sending this mini rack. Note: I was not paid to make this video nor did DeskPi or Ubiquiti have any input.  I just love racks of all sizes and UniFi gear fits nicely in it, not to mention there are quite a few 3D printed models for their gear.
