19 inch racks?

In article , Bob Eager writes

We'll have a few spare sometime next month in Cambridge if thats any use to you. Somewhere around 40 U but most are made, well ones less doors, that you can cut them down a bit!.

Theres somewhere in Croydon, display electronics IIRC who does them second user...

In my experience, they are very heavy, very sharp and very expensive. I gave up and bought some Ikea shelving, so now have a wooden "rack" with my Ultra

Have a look at this URL, they do both built and a range of CKD units.

The slightly off-beam world of Bull Electrical awaits your pleasure.

Even if they no longer have 19" racks for sale, you'll find *something* to fill up your shed, garage, and loft with there ;-)

Not sure if you mean that one doesn't have a door or they all do...but would be interested.

Are they still going? Must take a look...

more than RS!

Sounds interesting in a general way...Henfield isn't that near to actual Brighton but easy enough for me (I grew up in Brighton so no problems navigating!)

Thanks

They don't seem to have any racks but I'll email them...

In any case, this could get expensive...I mean, a thiefproof pen and a box of fart bombs...just for starters...then the lockpicks...

These things always come at the wrong time. There were skips full of all sorts at Teddington Studios a few weeks ago.

You might try a post to to see if anyone knows of any currently being thrown out.

I think that Nimans do them and will deliver..

Agreed. I have a 42U one that, with casing, doors etc., weighs 160kgs. It tops a quarter of a tonne now that it is populated. ISTR that it cost about £1k new.

Try BBC Pebble Mill. They have loads of 35 and 40 U racks due to them moving. Speak to security on 0121 432 8888

Chrome wiggly wire racking is now cheap - half the price of a year ago, much cheaper than 1999. I've just bought new server racking from my local shopfitting place - £67+VAT for a set of four shelves and legs.

Yes. Used them too. Excellent product but used to be a tad pricey.

We have used these bods in the past:

Guide price of £1,400 but not worth 50p? ;-)

You can get ready made rack strip with the correct mounting holes punched ready for cage nuts[1], just fit between the verticals of your choosing.

After all, this is DIY :-)

Yes. ;-)

I've worked for Auction World a few times, and they paid very well on the odd occasion they've needed freelances. But it's about the most boring job ever.

Sad thing is Teddington Studios spent a small fortune upgrading their studio only recently - and it seems they're owed money too. Hope they (the studios) can survive this - it's one of the nicest places I ever have the pleasure of working at.
