Most consumer, prosumer and pro hardware has to have the EE/EMF figured out to be able to sell.
Other things to setup your own gear that are worth looking into.
Factoring in electricity costs is important too long term.
Beyond this, running hardware long term:
- If you run your hardware using a PDU (Power distribution unit) that conditions the electricity and keeps it stable, there is much less wear and tear on the electronics, especially transistors, etc, that love to pop.
- Cooling without a fan is most certainly only so good and more dependant on how well the closet or the surrouding environment can cool. It's almost certainly better to use a good case with fans, and add some cabinet fans, for example by AC Infinity
Is the closet sealed? Maybe port a hole out and run a small few items like a small stand up AC that can be temperature activated, and something to handle the humdity one way or the other depending on the basement.
For setting up your own space, places like ebay are your friend. Industrial grade equipment is not made to fail.

Those distribute power. They have no kind of conditioning on board which you'd know if you read the link you provided. Those are just so you can remotely switch stuff on and off, any protection in datacenter would be in electric cabinet.
And you do want to have any protection, especially against overvoltage/lighting as far as possible from the device
In my case, I just realized the last time I used one of these was in a data centre where electricity was conditioned by another piece of equipment upstream from it.
It would be helpful if you provided a link to something that did condition the electricity since you know about that instead of dropping a mic. Thanks!
