Description
## Summary
After building my homelab from the ground up on the software side, I decided it was time to finally restructure and organize the hardware side. Until now, I had been hosting everything on different nodes scattered around the house, and it was becoming a hassle to manage. What better way to fix this than by organizing everything inside a proper server rack?
