I've seen so many 10" servers that look amazing from the front and very polished, but then having a rats nest of cables and a mess at the back.

After 62 iterations and many 3D prints, blood, sweat, profanity and tears. I my design and implementation is finally done. image
I used Hexagons where possible, because as you know, Hexagons are the bestagons

The front of my mini-rack is actually still somewhat of a mess, I thought I'd focus on the back first.

I've published it in excruciating detail on my GitHub Leave a Star if you like what you see.

I self host a bunch of stuff on here to get away from Big-Tech, and because I find it fun. For a lot more details see https://erasmus.works/

It always bothered me the the fronts of racs are modular, but not the backs, this solves that
If you have any questions feel free to ask, hopefully this helps other clear up their rats nests.

I mean, Erasmus is a pretty well-known historical figure (and where, I assume, that programme gets its name)

That's where my mind went first.

Turns out we're both wrong and it's just OP's name like he said in the other comment, but I'm curious how you made that connection? Not passing any judgement on it, just curious since your brain reached a different conclusion than mine and I'm curious how you got there.

I knew a couple of people who studied in continental Europe under the Erasmus scheme before Brexit, and the far right were always claiming during the referendum campaign that the EU would never chuck the UK out of anything because we're so awesome and they need us and our money so much. Turns out there's a limit to how much a club misses its most loudly critical influential member.

So amongst Europhile Brits, Erasmus means young people's opportunities to study abroad first, and name from history that it honours second. I might not have heard of Erasmus if it weren't for the Erasmus scheme, and I had to check just now whether he was a historical figure or someone from Greek mythology. Awesome surname for a person in real life to have, though.

I rolled into it few months ago and am getting ready for a exchange trip to Spain so it got burned into my brain by now.
