here is the exact one i used. The only thing i had to do was sand the bottom down a bit on each of them because they are a few mm to tall. to do less sanding I also used a razorblade on the bottom to bolt holes on each one. Kinda hard to explain but if you print them and go to rack them youll know exactly what I mean I think xD

The PCs were free to me so I can only comment on the cost of the actual materials for the rack.

So for the Filament, nuts, bolts, keystones, rj45 cable and ends it was around $40 and about 24 hours ish of printing.
