Hello fellow Homelabbers,

I am in the process of setting up my first homelab and taking my first steps in self-hosting. I got an old pc as a gift from a friend and I want to convert it together with my old pc into 2 2U servers.

But first of all I need an enclosure where these servers and the rest of my equipment can go in. Since this homelab will be located in my flat for the time being, I don't have a particularly large amount of space for it. I think a size of 15 to 22U would be perfect, also in terms of long-term upgrades.

I have looked around on my local online marketplaces but I am not sure what I should really focus. Since this purchase will literally be the foundation of my future upgrades, I don't want to rush into anything and would like to ask you homelab veterans for some advice.

Thanks in advance.
