Review on πŸ”§ Raising Electronics 42U Server Rack: 4 Post Open Frame, Adjustable Depth, Cold Rolled Steel, 19 Inch Rack Enclosure - 82 Inch Height by Matthew Richards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive, well built, don't assemble alone

Unbeatable value. I've got the full capacity of the equipment in it and it is solid. Shows no impact, doesn't scare me. The various parts fit together well, all the hardware is there and it's easy to expand and change to the configuration depth required. Although the blocks are labeled for each 1U, are they aren't numbered, which is a minor downside. For $20, you can put a 42U magnetic stripe and a label on it. This makes it a bit more difficult to align left and right if you don't have devices. But not so much that You want to pay a premium between this and what other companies offer for the price The big downside is the instructions and the in installation Drawings are few, no clear diagram of how the parts fit and where exactly. And you should definitely not do the installation alone if you can help. If you are unfamiliar with this type of rack mounting, you can use the images from Revain's listing as a helpful assembly guide.

Pros
  • Fits standard 19" wide equipment. INSTALLATION Depth 22-34" (post to post)
Cons
  • Speed of operation
