Just swapped one of my servers over from a midi tower case to a 4U rack case.
Fuck me if everything(*) worked first time. I did cut myself on a sharp bit so that small blood sacrifice usually does the trick.
* 10 years old or so. 4 core i7-4820K. 32GB RAM. Running VMWare ESXi 6.0. 2 x 120GB SSD. 2 x 2TB SSD. 1 x 4TB HDD. Had to bodge the SSDs in only screwed in on one side so I've ordered a proper mounting bracket for it and will fit when it arrives. Replaced the fans with some nice silent BeQuiet things.
Next step is to migrate it (and the VMs) to Proxmox.
Then I've got another of the same 4U rack cases to transplant my dev midi tower machine (24 core i7-13400K, 64GB RAM, 2TB NVMe) into. Then I need a few more bits and bobs (PDU, rackmountable switch, etc) and I can rack it all up along with my rack mountable UPS.
