Server rack (12U)

[rajil.s]

Does anybody where can i buy a 12U rack?

All major Rack vendors will be able to supply you 12U server racks. Contact Valrack, Rittal or Dinrack and check if they have a distributor in your area.

Any reason for getting one?

Rather than getting a new one, look for used ones. We recently trashed a 15U.

OK. I thought you wanted a rack to hold equipment - not a rack chassis. Location?

 

[rajil.s]

I have a chassis and switches. I need a rack to put them in. I am in Lucknow.

Damn. Dunno what I was thinking - got the rack and chassis mixed up.

Anyways, I can only give you Mumbai contact - Arihant Infotech. Ask for 4U chassis and get the same model from Delhi.

Would you know how much will a 12U rack cost?

Amazon is now selling server racks. Any body has experience of their build quality?

Yes, we have 2. They are good.

The ones they are selling on Amazon is only 600mm deep. For a server chassis this is a bit short. I think a 1000mm depth is good. Any idea what is the depth of the ones you have?

Even I am in the same quest.

Looking for a 24U or 27U 600x1000mm rack for my homelab, with following specs & requirements:
- 600x1000mm
- 2 full-depth shelves and 1 keyboard shelf
- caster wheels
- levellers
- back perforated door
- front semi-perforated, glass door
- horizontal PDU with individual socket switches
- black powder coated colour
- 2 horizontal cable manager loops
- ceiling exhaust fan provision
- a pack of cage nuts

Apart from this, I also need 2 sets of dell rack rails 1xR710, 1xR610 and Rack ears for 1x3750G and 1x3650.

Anyway, all the quotations for rack I've received thus far are very close to 30K in BLR.

I've noticed old 42U used racks on olx/quikr etc are cheaper than these smaller ones (15K to 20K). Probably because the 42U is standard production and 17U-27U are custom made on order. Check on quikr, I saw an advert from LKO.

Search on Quikr isnt showing it up. You have a link?

The one bought from Amazon is short, used for keeping router and DVR.

The one bought directly from Massrack is aproper 42U server.
