Hi all,
I am looking for a rack for my lab equipment and for any equipment when I take my CCNP down the road. My budget is $200-$450. Doors on the rack can be optional, but I wouldn't need anything too fancy.

One option (I use the 12U. Sold to me by someone on this forum actually).
Dantrak Net - New and Used Networking Equipment and Peripherals. Skeletek Racks and Accessories.
Or if you want something enclosed, however it's hard to find the bigger ones when enclosed, and it's pricier

If space is an issue the one I have (see link) is WAY smaller than that. Only 24"H x 20"D x 20"W. it will easily fit under a table.

If space is really an issue and you don't have room to put it on a table, or even under a table, why not put it in a table?
The table itself costs $7.99 at IKEA. Not fancy at all.
