I've decided 2024 is the year I build a home lab. Starting from scratch, so I need everything. Rack, network cable, switch, and UPS are what I'm starting with so I can get all my rooms on a wired network. So where are the good deals?

Anything rack related or switches above lower end consumer is rarely on the sales.

If doing a consumer/whitebox build you might find some stuff tho.
Spinners for capacity storage tend to have good deals also.

Best deals at local elections recycling. On a good day, all those are available. May need some work and time to get fully functional, but great learning experience on low budget

local elections recycling What are those? Can you name some names in the Reading, Pennsylvania area?

Looking for MFF desktop deals. I want to create a container lab, should be low power usage (expensive energy around here) and also should be a USA website.

TIA

Supposedly Ubiquiti has the UDM Pro at $279 ($100 off) and the In Wall at $200 off (I think $799).

I ordered a 9U wall-mount cabinet with glass front for $12” last night. Extra shelves and PDU were a few bucks off too.

Udm pro is 279. That’s dope.
