Got a wall mount network rack (4 units) but the spot I want to put it up in has the studs spaced juuuuust too far apart. Yay >:C Luckily it's just exposed frame there that I don't actually intend to finish any time soon, so I can easily put in a backer board to support the rack. Once that's done I can begin wiring the house with CAT6 cable for proper ethernet!

I've got to find my 24 port rack mount switch though. But I also have a 24 port patch panel as well, so definitely ready! Also bought a 2 unit shelf so I can hold a power strip and the ISP gateway on the rack as well. Possibly even a battery backup system if it's not too heavy (but probably not)
