Review on Aeons 12U Signature Wall Mount 19-inch IT Network Cabinet Enclosure Server Rack with 22-inch Depth and Glass Door by Ben Dixon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rugged Rack for Home/Small Office Inexpensive

First you need to understand that this is not a corporate rack, it is mainly made of sheet metal but strong enough for network equipment and shallow depth. Server. The hardware is pretty powerful and assembly was a breeze; every single hole is aligned (which honestly shocked me for a $200 12U rack) and the instructions were more than enough. Although it comes with an Allen key, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver to attach the back panel. The included cage nuts are pretty standard and the cage bolts didn't come loose at all so I'd say they're solid. It also came with a set of rails that attach to the internal posts which was a big plus for me. One thing that disappointed me a bit was that top panel fans weren't included, I was under the impression they would be; it's not like this. I don't know if I will use them but it would be nice if they were included. Again, at $200, you can't expect too much, but this rack exceeded my expectations. Value for money 5/5 - no frills but the quality is surprisingly good. Strength 4/5 - The door mechanism could be a bit stronger, and the magnetic strip would help hold the door in place until latched (just a minor annoyance).
