StarTech.com 4POSTRACK25U 25U Adjustable Depth Open Frame 4 Post Server Rack Cabinet - w/ Casters / Levelers and Cable Management Hooks

Pros: Fairly easy to put together - easy to increase depth with minimal load. Can increase depth to insane amount. Sturdy materials. Fair amount of cage nuts, screws and cable mgmt. pieces to start you off. Nice height for putting something on top. Decent casters. Nice price. Looks better in person than in images.

Cons: I could always ask for more cable management and rack screws but what is given is very fair. No cons for far.

Overall Review: I purchased this and a few shelves. I'm using it for my home server, tower PC, my networking gear and a laptop on top I use for accessing most of that gear. Working out great so far.

OK, but not great

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card 100406NT+8GOCL
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card 100406NT+8GOCL

Pros: -Neat LED on card -Price -Can get you started with VR

Cons: -Had graphical issues in a few games that cleared up when I moved to a 1070 -Died after 18 months, while sitting in pause menu for Wolfenstein New Colossus -RMA (return) seems like it will not work because Sapphire expects a serial number in the receipt, no one does this

Overall Review: -If they give me grief during this RMA then I will not buy Sapphire again

Dead pixel on arrival

Nice shelf

TRIPP LITE SRSHELF4PHD SmartRack Heavy Duty Fixed Shelf

Pros: Sturdy and adjustable. Good amount of space. Nice price.

Cons: Adjusting system/screws are a bit annoying to use. No real issues though. Mounting area came slightly damaged.

Overall Review: I recently purchased 2 of these. Both had a bit of bending on corners near the mounting holes. I bent back without trouble or damage. A 2U server sits on one and my tower PC with some accessories sit on the other. So far so good.

As expected

StarTech.com CABSHELFV 2U 16 in Universal Vented Rack Mount Cantilever Shelf - Fixed Server Rack Cabinet Shelf - 50 lbs / 22 kg - 16 in Deep

Pros: Sturdy deep shelf. Can put a larger laptop on one. No upward lip on front or back of top. Nice price.

Cons: two downward lips on bottom of shelf - may not be a con to you.

Overall Review: Great price for a sturdy shelf. Some other shelves have an upward lip on the rear of the shelf but this one completely flat - with vent holes.
