Review on StarTech.com RK1236BKF 12U AV Rack Cabinet - Network Rack with Glass Door - 19 inch Computer Cabinet for Server Room or Office by Roberto Manzer

Received this item quickly from Revain. What's good: It's well built (tight fitting panels) and deep enough to stow full size servers with room. I can't say enough about how solid this thing was once put together. It has plenty of space and cable management slots and does a great job of serving its primary purpose (holding servers/network equipment). The vertical mounting rails are pre-aligned and I didn't have to fiddle with them at all when installing the servers. Cons: Assembly: Don't use the tools they provide for assembly as you don't have hands. leave after completion. The tools are too small and don't provide the leverage needed to install the included screws, as many of the threads on both the screws and the case are painted over. This means you either have to run a tap through each hole to remove the paint/metal shavings or tighten each bolt/bolt securely. Also, one of the threaded holes for the legs wasn't fully drilled, so I had to drill through it to fit a leg properly. Shipping: This item must be shipped on a pallet. It weighs a ton and is not properly secured in the box it comes in. That means he's hanging around there all the time, from the factory to the buyer's doorstep. My top cover was completely damaged and bent, but I was able to bend it straight and straight since I had the right tool. Of course I didn't install or look at the top cover until the last minute and would have returned the product had I known it was so mangled. Run away. Also included are enough square mounting clips and screws to hang 5U or 1U units, so order 50-100 extra when ordering. Conclusion: Put simply, I would return the product and ask for another one if I didn't collect more. The thought of having to put together another one was enough to claim the 10% refund Revain was giving and call it good. I'll repaint the top cover when I get around to it as it's just standard black semi-gloss spray paint. (collected once). It offers plenty of storage and space for cable management and features slim fitting panels. However, be prepared to want to ship this item to a nearby county during construction if you don't have your own tools. I would suggest opening the box and inspecting each part/panel before signing the bill of lading and letting the carrier go.
