I wanted a truly modular/customizable desk shelf, so I built one. Rack Nook is a desk shelf system, based around 10" or 19" rack components. It's open source, you can find everything you need to build your own here: github.com/loopj/rack-n...

For my desk, I went with a 5ft wide butcher block shelf, using 10" rack components in a 2U:1U:1U:1U:2U configuration. This allows for a wide cubby in the middle for tucking away my keyboard and mouse.

For the center rack module I installed a DeskPi 6.91-inch touch screen, and wrote a quick Flutter application for media control.

The whole thing is really simple, honestly it's just a shelf on some 3D-printed legs, but having the rack rails allows for a lot of flexibility in how you set it up, and what you put on it. Let me know if you build your own!
