I’m a new homelabber, recently bought a SilverStone RM41H08 4U Chassis
My rack is wall mounted and this server is heavy AF to get into place when I need to adjust something.
All the reviews for the branded sliding rails that “work” aka rarely, are terrible.
I’m interested in any ideas people have for maybe DIYing a sliding rail set, or like a better universal rack? Literally anything please hahaha.
I’d even try cabinet rails or something if there’s a good resource on DIYing.
Thanks!

That’s solid info, thanks! Looks like the OEM rails aren’t “technically” designed for this model. Or the one they have won’t fit my space. I have like maybe 22” until I hit the wall, and most of the rail kits SilverStone has seem to be minimally 22” which wouldn’t account for any rear vent and or power cord space, if it would even fit on my 20” rack.
FWIW I do have the rack lag bolted in 4 spots to a concrete basement foundation.
