Your homelab rack,
planned to the inch.

Pick the rack, then the shelves, PDU and cable management around it. Add your own server or NAS with its measurements. Both are checked for depth, rack units and power.

What this rack planner checks

Three questions decide whether a piece of equipment can go in your rack. Gearome answers all three from catalog specifications, and shows the numbers behind each answer.

Depth

20.0 in rack fits 11.4 in

Equipment deeper than the rack does not fit, and the figure that decides it is rarely on the product page. A 20-inch vented shelf will not mount in a rack whose rails take 11.4. Gearome compares the two and names the shortfall.

Space

4 / 4 U occupied

A 19-inch rack is counted in rack units, and two items cannot claim the same one. Gearome tracks the U your plan occupies against the height the rack actually has, and flags the collision before you order the second item.

Power

1440 W PDU capacity

Active equipment draws watts and a power source supplies them. Gearome totals idle and peak draw across the plan and measures it against the capacity of the PDU you picked.

Passing checks stay quiet. A plan that clears all three says so, and says which three it cleared.

Your draft never leaves this browser

Your plan autosaves in this browser, and the draft is never sent. Saving is a separate step you choose: it uploads the plan, hands you a link to share, and expires 30 days later.

No sign-up and no email. Equipment missing from the catalog? Add it as a custom item with your own measurements, and it is checked like anything else.
