I have some items that don't fit a rack real well, so I took an alternate solution. I mounted a large piece of plywood to the basement wall near my electrical service. Added a few outlets for the battery backups and mounted everything to that board.
I have a managed 24 port switch, cable modem, router, phone modem, and 3 HDHomerun Primes with 3 tuning adapters. I ran new cat6 for network jacks in the house. That is a lot of wires (and equipment to cool), so giving them their own space was important. Cooling should be a major consideration for your room. If you don't have another space for your equipment a window AC unit may be necessary.
Good luck with what ever you decide and always leave room for growth because you will never stop boxing.
