hi mate,

ive looked all over but all pre built labs are way over priced from what ive seen. i done it the ebay way and bought from reputable sellers and never had a problem.

ive found trying to get a reasonable price rack for them the hardest at a decent price!

Those don't look too bad man. I wish I had seen those when I was trying to rack my equipment up.

+1 for Skeletek. You can buy direct too: http://www.dantraknet.com/ I've ordered other packs of screws, shelves, etc., and they ship them FAST. My only regret is that I didn't get the biggest one. I picked one up the biggest one that was on eBay, but it wasn't it the biggest, and I just know the lack of those 4U are going to come back to haunt me

I tell you what annoys me more than anything guys. As part of my job I get to go to various customer sites around london. Several which more often that not have redundant cisco routers and switches, sitting in comms/server rooms doing absolutley sweet fa. They don't throw them out and they don't give them away, why???? Because they claim a potential crimanal could use the information stored on the router to plan an attack on said company. I have asked on more than one occasion and been told no each time.....doesnt make sense to me as the first thing id do is flush the damn thing anyway
