Description

### KWS Rack
is a modular, heavy‑duty homelab rack system for makers who want something that feels engineered, not flimsy.

It’s designed to hold real equipment - NAS devices, power supplies, Raspberry Pi clusters, screens - while staying clean, expandable, and enjoyable to build.

You don’t need to print everything at once. Build what you need today, expand when your homelab grows.

### Key Features

- 🧲 Magnetic frame
Keep screws and tools stuck to the rack while working.
More magnetic add‑ons coming soon!
- 🏋️ Heavy‑duty structure
Stable enough for NAS units, power gear, and dense builds.
- 📏 True 10‑inch rack standard
Compatible with [common 10‑inch rack](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:19_inch_vs_10_inch_rack_dimensions.svg) gear and accessories.
- 🧊 Optional full enclosure
Supports side and top panels (printed or laser‑cut 3mm acrylic).
- 📈 Built to scale
Designed from day one to grow vertically without compromises.
- 💡 LED & cable management system (separate project will publish soon)
