In Server Racks / Cabinets

It’s a substantial piece of hardware; you’d expect to see at an industrial supply warehouse, more so than an electronic component outlet, unless you're looking specifically for rack hardware. Departing from its original intended use, rack mounted components, it’s difficult to comprehend alternative uses until you see/ hold it. Call/use it whatever way you like; shelf, platform, bracket, it’s a winner. It’s capable of performing many functions, install it, horizontal right-side up/down - or – vertically. It appears to be surprisingly tough (weight/finish). Attachment points are well engineered. Slots intended for ventilation to serve as readily available attachment points; especially useful when mounted vertically or overhead. Mounted horizontally right-side up, reversed, it provides a lip to hold small items from dropping; mounted vertically, its accompanying slots offer numerous anchor points for all kinds of stuff; i.e Bungee hooks. It’s substantial nature accommodates a myriad of one-off applications, i.e., vertical/overhead mount for 160 degree convex mirror. Use it as a platform for IP cameras with magnetic bases. Benefiting from a plug strip (tidy things up), amazing how well it’d suit it is for this application. Additionally, if you're not aware of the newest generation of magnets, Google N52, it’s mind boggling what a substantial base like this is capable of accomplishing when joined to powerful magnets.

This was my first rack I've ever bought. Came in pretty good packaging. The instructions were pretty simple and easy to understand, as well as easy to assemble. It's also really easy to adjust the depth you need for your use case.

-rounded corners -no sharp edges -sturdy -great paint/finish

Solidly constructed: I'm confident will hold my (expensive) equipment Came with maybe a dozen cage nuts

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.

-Durable powdercoat -Sturdy -Rack nuts are neither too loose nor too tight. Can be removed without a tool, but they don't fall out.

Would have worked great, but I had to return it because I had no where to put it under my premade wall desk in my two bedroom hybrid community apartment and couldn't swap places with my Mini-fridge for the same reason.

Solid, much thicker material than I expected. Easy to mount comes with cage nuts and hardware

This rack is made of very heavy gauge steel. It is very rugged and very easy to assemble. It may help to have a second set of hands to put it together. I love that StarTech included some cable management hooks! Very helpful! The price is excellent. Would buy a second rack if needed. I looked at other open frame racks and StarTech's was the only one that came with everything I needed and then some. Plus it is a full size 42u rack.

Nicely engineered and made. Great looking also.
