Box to mount electronics and hide wires?

[Laird]

I'm building my fish room which is in a concrete room in my basement. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep all the electronics organized and looking clean.

I'd like to mount some kind of box above my sump that holds that I can put over an outlet that holds my power strips and wires and then has a front side to mount my apex. What prebuilt options are there out there? Anyone have plans for something they built?

I bought a black glass faced box from Ikea https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/besta-...k-brown-glassvik-black-clear-glass-s49047751/ and put my electronics in there.

Go to Habitat for Humanity. Buy a kitchen upper cabinet. $20-30 later you got a cabinet and mount your stuff in it.

Or you can do like I did. Bought a cabinet from Ikea also.

Powerbricks mounted on a false backing. Just used large zip ties as holders and screwed through the tabs that stuck out.

Finished product

Where are the power strips and outlets? Did you have to buy an additional panel to mount the iPad and drives on and put everything else behind it?

If you look close he has a false back on that. My guess is all the bricks and outlets are behind it.

Yes I made a false back and the power supplies and cables are behind it.
