Need an equipment rack?

Crunchyhippo

I found what looks like a neat equipment rack in lieu of one from a lab (for those of you unlucky enough to not have a job with a lab). I don't think it's any more expensive than if you had to build it yourself. Check it out.

Are you talking about just for routers and switches?

Why not just go with these: http://www.dantraknet.com/index.php?cPath=22

You can buy shelves, etc. for them as well.

For the cost of that wal mart unit you could buy a full cabinet rack used or buy a skeletek rack like mentioned above.

Your link looks much nicer though :P

That could work if you you have to keep your equipment in your living area. Put it next to the TV and everyone will think its some sort of funky AV equipment.

We'd need to hook up all the ports on the switch to something that would generate traffic to get some kind of animation going on the status LEDs

This is my plan when I finally have the $$ to buy real equipment:

I think it will fit in nicely since my home is small enough that my office is part of our living room.
