Moving a small homelab out from under the desk

A home setup is currently sitting in a cramped corner under a desk, which makes it harder to manage. The visible gear includes a server tower, a small switch, and a small UPS.

The plan is to also place the router and modem in the same area, so the main is kept together. One option being considered is a cheap small stand.

The server tower and UPS would sit on the lower level, while the router, modem, and switch would sit on the top surface. The main question is whether that kind of stand is suitable, or whether there is a better setup for this job.

Key points

  • The current gear is under a desk and needs a more manageable location.
  • The setup includes a server tower, a small switch, and a small UPS.
  • The router and modem may be moved into the same area so all core is together.
  • The proposed layout puts the server and UPS below, with the router, modem, and switch on top.
