Sliding rack rails don't appear for work for my chassis. Any good suggestions for better ones?
  • That’s solid info, thanks! Looks like the OEM rails aren’t “technically” designed for this model. Or the one they have won’t fit my space. I have like maybe 22” until I hit the wall, and most of the rail kits SilverStone has seem to be minimally 22” which wouldn’t account for any rear vent and or power cord space, if it would even fit on my 20” rack.

    FWIW I do have the rack lag bolted in 4 spots to a concrete basement foundation.

  • I guess that’s a very valid point. The racks is bolted into concrete with 4x 5” lag bolts FWIW, so I just kind of assumed that’d be fine? But I supposed physics may not be kind to me, considering me hefting the machine into the place is already heavy…

    I’m a new homelabber, recently bought a SilverStone RM41H08 4U Chassis

    My rack is wall mounted and this server is heavy AF to get into place when I need to adjust something.

    All the reviews for the branded sliding rails that “work” aka rarely, are terrible.

    I’m interested in any ideas people have for maybe DIYing a sliding rail set, or like a better universal rack? Literally anything please hahaha.

    I’d even try cabinet rails or something if there’s a good resource on DIYing.

    Thanks!

  • I’m sure orchestrating this isn’t super easy (however, if you treat every “display” as a “pixel”, Idk how this coding is different than a woman wearing a dress made of addressable LEDs— on the surface it doesn’t seem super complicated engineering), but it appears as unimpressive.
