The heat flow is literally the only reason I got that type of shelf. This is the Amazon link to it if you're interested in getting it. AmazonBasics 4-Shelf Shelving Unit - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYBQXRH/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_5eZJCb21H30E4
In conjunction with what others have said, using an inexpensive wire rack for small appliance storage would help. They make them in all heights and sizes at local hardware stores too depending on what kind of space you're working with. They make more heavy duty shelves with solid shelves too but those are pricier. Ive used them in most apartments I've rented because I have a ridiculous amount of kitchen equipment. Right now I have a useless coat closet I've converted into a pantry with one of those racks.
For appearance sake, you can also wrap a curtain around it if you don't like having all the stuff exposed.
I picked up a shelf like this, great for holding and organizing lots of product. You can set one up in a closet, and it''ll provide way more structural support for the collection.

These things are my go to - cheap lightweight but can handle a significant load per shelf.
come in a variety of sizes too for maximizing storage in odd spaces.
I live in Japan so links to the ones I use wouldn't be super helpful (I'm assuming). Not sure the dimensions of your TV, but these Amazon basics shelves are rated to hold insane amounts of weight. They have a range of sizes so have a look. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYBQXRH?aaxitk=kG9MNMadpfxDJZr3Ys7LLA&pd_rd_i=B01LYBQXRH&hsa_cr_id=8633735720401

I bought a metal powder coated rack. Somethinglime this: https://www.amazon.nl/Amazonbasics-Rekkenunit-Schappen-Plank-Zwart/dp/B01LYBQXRH/ref=asc_df_B01LYBQXRH/?tag=nlshogostdsp-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430707076799&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14437211799713730034&hvpone=&hvptwo=&am...
Then used a tool to slice it up. Put trays underneath.
I’m thinking something like this could work if the PCs aren’t too heavy for the rack to support the weight. I would use the frame it already has to route cables using cable ties, or something else easily removable that can hold thick bundles of cable. You gotta be careful with anything that will close off the PCs from getting cool air, so I would still keep them out in the open but placed neatly with all the cables routed out of the way.
You can get the metal shelving the other commenter mentioned from Amazon. It’s relatively cheap, just make sure you check the reviews and confirm how much weight it can hold.
I’ve had this one saved for a while but I’m not sure it’s big enough for a 40 gallon. Shouldn’t be hard to find the right size though.
I like adjustable metal shelves like these . it can be one big shelf or two little shelves or whatever you please and lets lots of light thru. they're super easy to find secondhand or for cheap from amazon/target/literally anywhere

I actually that exact shelving-- for my clothing, etc. For the mini pc units I was thinking mini, really small, as the mini pcs are the size of a sandwich
So my Uncle put those in forever ago when he had the house built. He had some spare shelves and bracketed them to the windowframe.
The shelving units are found on Amazon. We have a couple of these for plants in the living room :)
Sure.

Thanks!
I bought one each from Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Target. Should be easy to find. They were cheaper years ago when I bought them.

Think they have a 5 shelf variant too
Im wanting to create a shelf enclosure for my FLSUN SR. Is there any issue with or a better way to do it than buying a wire shelf and using foam panels to line a shelf for a big enclosure that I can potentially add more printers to? looking at this shelf rn https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYBQXRH/
mildy concerned they might not be stable enough or something. thank you for yalls time.
Good for short boxes
Here’s some links to examples of what I used.
For the shelving I do suggest to shop around sometimes Home Depot or Walmart will have these marked down in store.

Grow lights - there are many options on Amazon. I used ones like these and mounted at least two on each shelf level I chose to use.

I think most have perfected the setup horizontal with the mobo on bottom. Seems to be the most common. A lot of people have had luck with cheap shoe racks from Walmart for under $20 I think.
I personally used a rack/shelf that can be had on amazon or Home Depot for $50-60, and some plastic liners to line the shelf with the mobo on it, and the top shelf for Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse. Ziptied the mobo to the liner/shelf, and ziptied all the cards to the bottom of the upper rack. One of the reasons I did this is because its living out in my garage, so its dual purpose and using some of the lower shelves for basic storage.

Liners - https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Protector-Shelving-Cabinets-Transparent/dp/B08P32WHCD/
Not the prettiest, but its mine. 2x ASRock Taichi 5700XT's, and 3x Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT's (Looks like the top shelf is the only one with the liner. The mobo I forgot is on a slide out tray from an old case.) Two 900Watt Power Supplies, and a 950W in the back.
This was before I BIOS Modded all the cards. All five are pushing 270Mh/sec @ 642W.
https://i.imgur.com/9gO3xEM.jpg
ASRock cards are reporting 140w while the Sapphire cards are reporting 120W or below. Anyone have any info on why that may be, please chime in. These are dual Bios cards and either Bios used via the switch on the card results in the same power usage, which is just odd. Not sure why they are different from the Sapphire cards for power consumption when all other parameters are the same. Fan layout and RGB is somewhat different. One wouldn't think 20watts of difference tho? Not sure.
Amazon. Each shelf is supposed to be able to hold 350lbs.

I speak from experience, shelves like these will change your life.
Also I’m OCD but a way to take this to the next level of organization porn is to fold your towels the exact same way. Even with the different sizes and patterns, it will be beautiful!!
This is what you need! Build your shelves up! :-)

Wire rack shelves and zip ties can go pretty far.
Edit - I know these aren't server racks, but you expressed concerns over price, and all the rackmount stuff is expensive.
I would advise either getting a dresser or one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYBQXRH/ref=twister_B07NXSDTQZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
(If you look hard enough some stores/sellers sell them in colors like teal or white but stainless steel or black are the most common colors.)
You can fold up the random blankets you have and stack them on either. The plush can be organized and put on a shelf or on top of the dresser. I don't advise keeping all/most of them on your bed as they will take up alot of space and will probably end up on the floor, looking messy.
I am a collector myself but sometimes its a really good idea to sell some things off, I don't agree with throwing away things that have nothing wrong with them but cutting back on the random trash bags and unused boxes would also make things look alot neater. Get rid of the plastic bottles. Perhaps invest in a storage container while you work on selling/going though things? The shelf I linked holds such items easily.
