Hi,

I'm looking to create my own homelab-like setup. I want to buy a rack and move my pc into it, along with creating a rack-mount nas, a server pc for hosting servers, and probably also run a Mac Mini in there for iOS app development.

I would like to put this rack in one corner of my room and run wires along the baseboard to my setup (a couple of meters). I was thinking using optical thunderbolt cables alongside a KVM switch to easily switch between my Gaming PC and the Mac Mini. This will be in the same room I sleep in so it shouldn't be very noisy (my PC should be fine and I reckon some Noctua fans for the nas/other servers should be sufficient)

For the rack, I was looking at the 15u floor standing rack cabinet (this specifically due to it's 800mm depth: https://www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B0DSFDM8T2 ) because it looks like plenty of space for what I need (4u for my gaming pc, 2u for a nas, 2u for a server, 2-4u for a shelf to plop a mac mini on and anything else with leftover space for future expansion).

I'm not too sure what I should be looking at towards optical thunderbolt cables, a KVM switch, or a dock for my peripherals. I run a 3440x1440 OLED monitor as well alongside a 1080p secondary monitor (that I might upgrade to a better 1440p monitor). I've got a 9800X3D and a 4070 Ti Super driving these. In addition to these monitors, I also need to be able to use my flight sim accessories (3-4 hardware), keyboard & mouse, my XLR interface (NI Konsole Audio 2), my DAC (Fiio K11 R2R), and a camlink for my camera.

What would everyone recommend to achieve something like this? Is achieving something like this even feasible? I mainly need recommendations case-wise to put my PC in, alongside cables, a KVM switch and a dock.

Thanks!
