Mostly designed for 2U server with cage screws and washers, but can be used for many other things as well with the right screw kits. The size is versatile and standard, it fits in standard tool chest cabinets as well with tool-less installation as a secondary shelf with lips on every side of the shelf. Does not fit in any personal computer cases, but only in standard sized rack mount frames, which can also be used for a variety of specialized purposes, because that's the way it is. This is probably mostly appropriate for personal servers or small quantity orders inside mid-sized corporations. Most corporations do not use more than a few 2U/1U frames or servers. This is because they are not needed and other kinds of systems are used. There is not much difference compared to other similar 2U shelves. No shape optimization is present nor should be needed, just follow industry trends is sufficient. The thermal vents are designed correctly with structural strength factored in the design based on general industry structural guidelines. The material is obviously regular steel with a spray paint surface finish. The price is about right for this kind of server accessory. Steel is one of the best choices for this kind of applications, it is high strength designed for low cycle loads. As a result, Infinite life is definitely expected.



Lots of space
