    Sturdy end product, poor assembly, poor shipping packaging

    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…

    Pros
    • Is it worth the money
    Cons
    • Is there anything I can add

    Great stand in Racks & Cabinets

    Great stand. I haven't worried about it and it's been working great since I bought it. Servers slide out without feeling the case falling. I also suggest adding LEDs to make it look a lot better.

    Pros
    • Easy installation
    Cons
    • Some little things

    Nice Rack Shelves and Cabinets

    Sturdy square hole rack that is easy to assemble. The rack arrived with enough cage nuts and mounting screws to get started. The item itself arrived in perfect condition. The shipping box was slightly damaged and probably only fit for shipping to you. Once opened it would be difficult to put back together if you had to return the ship. Works well with StarTech.com's 2U Vented Drawer with Cable Management Bracket and UNISLDSHF19M Adjustable Bracket

    Pros
    • Weight
    Cons
    • Flimsy

    Solid closet! in Computers and Accessories

    Very strong case. Easy to set up and looks cool. The wheels are strong and the locks are secure. This cabinet provides a safe environment as there are no holes in the walls and floor of this cabinet for hands or fingers to reset network devices or disconnect cables. My only concern is the 2 cable management slots on the top, which may be wide enough for some to put their hands in. You can buy covers for these slots if you want a VERY secure closet. I would buy another one if needed.

    Pros
    • Good product for the price
    Cons
    • Not sure

    Good rack but read before buying a server.

    Let me start by saying that this review is for a 12U 36 inch rack. For some reason, this section contains several different types of racks that are very different from each other. First let me say that I am very satisfied with this stand. I've had an old Digital Storageworks rack with round holes instead of square for years and the modern rails don't work with it. I've looked at this or a 22U rack, but to be honest, they're too expensive. I don't really understand why I can get a used 42U rack…

    Pros
    • Pleasing
    Cons
    • Legacy model

    Great server cabinet!

    I love this thing. Although not all of the screw holes were fully drilled, I was still able to assemble it after getting a bigger Philips head. I would buy again.

    Pros
    • Like everything before
    Cons
    • Makes me nervous

    Awesome 12U case

    The packaging was in fairly good condition. Very small flaws in a few places. Overall this is exactly what I wanted. It is very easy to assemble by yourself in 30 minutes. Add some highlight LEDs.

    Pros
    • Awesome
    Cons
    • Not as good as it says

    Literally a tank for computers and accessories

    The other reviewers weren't kidding when they said this server rack is built like a tank! It's huge, heavy, and made entirely of metal. The instructions are easy to follow and it only took me 45 minutes (alone) to set it up.

    Pros
    • Easy-to-read control panel
    Cons
    • Not everything fits

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Good consumer choice

    I bought this case to replace an APC 42U enterprise server rack in my home office. Despite Revain's terrible delivery services. And the delivery driver literally threw the cabinet off the truck, I almost expected the cabinet door to break. Even so, fewer of the blank instruction manual and missing bag of rack nuts survived in the closet. I was able to download the instructions online. Building the case was easy and the case is well made with a few exceptions. Coming from a standard enterprise…

    Pros
    • Perfect for outdoor activities
    Cons
    • Fine
