I used a custom server rack to store chemicals and mount electronics like apex system and I think it came out great.
Thoughts?
 
That would be cool too, but I found a company that sells different size server cabinets on wheels and they powder coat shelves or wire organizers diff colors. I matched the apex colors

I only had a small area so it could not be as deep as a regular cabinet, so I did a search and custom server cabinet build was 19inch deep which wa perfect for me. They also powder coat all the cabinet accessories diff colors and you can mix and match. I went with the apex colors, orange , black and gray.they ship with a bag of skittles which I thought was cool.

This all took one tool which they included
I also added a mirror top for a work station and hue color strip with motion sensor
 
I love the idea of using a rack. Especially considering the good cable management options available. Making equipment tidy but serviceable is key.
