Subject: Server Rack Recommendations
Just wondering if any of you sys admins out there have any
recommendations for server racks. We have about 11 servers now and I
finally convinced the boss that we need to invest in a rack and all
future server purchases to be rack mountable. We use Dell servers and
just purchased our first 1U server. I was hoping to get some nifty
sliding shelves for the other non-rack boxes even though they all won't
fit in one rack. I was also thinking about a 44U four post rack.

Any suggestions as to who I should purchase from or what to get? Or
even any cool accessories that I might need?

Just surfing around a little I thought www.rackmountsolutions.net or
www.racksolutions.com had some decent deals. We don't need anything two
fancy and physical security isn't an issue so I was thinking of just
something like a $400 open rack.

thnx,

p.s. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting just a hardware question :p
