Review on 🗄️ NavePoint 18U Wall Mount Server Data Cabinet: Secure 24-inch Depth Glass Door Storage Solution with Lock, Key, and Casters by Bam Reeder

Cons: - As others have said, the instructions are terrible. I downloaded them from the website hoping they are a bit better, but they also have very poor charts and are missing some key components. You will end up having to disassemble the rack part 2 or 3 times even if you put everything on the floor and put it back together without twisting anything (like I did). The main part, which the instructions completely omit, is assembling the inner rack (where the equipment actually sits) so that it's the right orientation and size to hold the equipment. This part of the rack is also attached from below with screws that also go through some of the other parts. So if you've already assembled the rest of the case, which most people will have by this point, you'll need to take some of them apart. - It's also quite expensive for what is essentially a half rack. Some full-size, higher-capacity racks can be purchased for similar racks. The final call for improvement is noise. The rack is equipped with two 120 mm fans (approx. 2.5 cm thick) that plug directly into a power outlet. They operate at around 60-70dB and are obviously not speed controlled. If it's a server environment, that's not a problem, but I've decided to switch it to Noctua 1200 Redux. I also ended up cutting 2 x 140mm holes in one of the side panels to add extra cooling (bigger, bigger, Noctuas) and my hardware ran cooler than if the doors were actually detached. Pros: - Having said that, I've searched the internet for the best rack and there isn't one for this particular case. There are cheaper ones out there but none of them support that kind of carrying capacity and I doubt their durability. There are those that appear to be more durable and cheaper, but aren't so deep that they won't fit in your regular network switches (18 inches total depth but only 16 inches usable). That means there's no room in the back if you can fit even 16 inches deep). switch, so no power cord or room for airflow). It seems ridiculous to call something a network or server closet and not be able to fit a regular switch in it. So if, like me, you have a large lab with multiple switches, firewalls, routers, servers, etc., but don't have room for a full rack, this is perfect. Fairly fully equipped. Only the back panel is not detachable clips (you need to unscrew them), and the door, left and right side have locks (with a common key). The case includes 4 very strong casters, quality hardware (rack nuts, screws etc) and 2 rails if you want to add a shelf or place the unit anywhere in the rack. The door is reversible so it can be opened to the left or right as needed. tight. Some will bother some people, most won't. Obviously all of us complaining about instructions could still assemble a rack and most people don't put it in a closet in their spare room like I did to keep the noise down but still somehow provide enough cooling. Someone needs cheaper solutions. Bottom line, there aren't many other options, especially if you're planning on adding a server (that fits in a 4U rackmount), a small APC rack unit, or a full-size switch.
