Rack Recommendations?
Hey guys,
Currently I am using the floor, my desk and a card table for my Cisco stuff. I was thinking of getting this into a rack as starting this month I am "getting serious" about finishing my CCNP:R&S and QoS exams.
Looking for a recommendation for
1) Rack, the most part
2) APC Masterswitch model (or any other power management system)
3) cable management
Budget is a factor of course.
thanks,
-Daniel

Based on most recommendations, i went with a skeletek rack, and it is very well built. A PMU is on my list, but it takes away from the router and switch fund.

I've always liked APC racks, used them in several places. I had the chance to pick up a nice 42U HP rack that was never used when cleaning out a datacenter at a former employer. I really wish I had taken it. At the time I didn't know where I'd put it, so I passed on it.
How many U do you need?
I don't have any hands on experience with the Eaton Powerware racks, but since they pay my bills these days, I should mention those as an option. :P Not sure how much they cost either.
