    I would fill my current 24RU rack like this.

    24 - patch panel

    23 - 48 port PoE switch with 10GB, maybe even 40/100 gb, with stacking, have a monkey create me custom length cables to each port that I need with the correct colour

    22 - 48 port PoE switch with 10GB, maybe even 40/100 gb, with stacking for redunancy for my servers

    21 - patch panel

    20 - VM Server 1 - As many cores and RAM as can fit into a 1RU Server, 2x 10gb/40/100gb connections to both switches, as many 2.5" 8TB NVMe SSDs as possible

    19 - VM Server 2 - As many cores and RAM as can fit into a 1RU Server, 2x 10gb/40/100gb connections to both switches, as many 2.5" 8TB NVMe SSDs as possible
