Built my first homelab.

Top to bottom:

just a gigabit switch
thinkcentre running immich and adguard
hp elitedesk mini with a bunch of cable adapters to attach 6 hdds, the ssd and an nvme m.2 drive
2x 3 bay drive enclosures with a sfx power supply. The power supply is turned on by a modified add2psu to be able to trigger it with the sata port of the elitedesk.

The frame is built with some aluminium extrusions to make it more or less mini rack sized

Could use some cleanup. But thats just aesthetics.

Sidepanels as per u/mirasu, but with magnets for easy access. Pretty sure those corner braces are zinc plated steel so it should be a breeze (especially if you use mesh). You could even cut it down shorter and put on a top (can always use linear joiners later if you need more in the future, love extrusion, bloody industrial meccano! ) and make it really slick.

That said, it's great as is.
