My computer rack would benefit from some better cable management. To facilitate this I need to make some modifications to the rack:

• Extend the rack to ≈30 in, up from ≈24 in. This wil give me more space at the rear to route cables.
• Move server chassis down for 0U gap. This will give me more space at the top.
• Put wheels back on the rack. This will allow me to roll out the entire rack from the wall for better access.

I purchased these server rack tie bars to give me something to fasten the cables to. I use hook-and-loop straps for this.
