How exactly is this powered by Ikea? Seems like this is just an advertisement for a pegboard. The author doesn't even use the Ikea hooks and whatnot to mount their hardware. Literally any pegboard or board with many holes in it would do the same thing here, besides aesthetics (although, there is a wide variety of aesthetics available for pegboards). Honestly I was kind of expecting some sort of Ikea smart home related "power".

Those IKEA pegboards are especially cheap and ubiquitous. There's a whole ecosystem around them, which admittedly he didn't use. But yeah I was expecting something using IKEA's smart home stuff.

  Pegboard $28.99, not cheap compared to MDF/plywood board

    $28.99 for a 70x22cm board. When I saw it the first time I had the same idea as in article, but the cost isn't good. Just checked, I can buy a 75x50cm rack mount shelf for less than that. No fancy rounded slots, though.

    Of course, but then you have to drill all your own holes etc. That's what I did (well actually I bent angle brackets into shapes that all my equipment could just slot into, so I can easily remove it). But not everyone wants to spend time on that or has the skills and equipment. Compared to other pegboard it is cheap.
