My turn to look for a server rack.

Needs to be about 12u, ceiling or wall mountable (so it is not taking up
floor space). Price range around $200 but is not fixed.

This rack is just for office switches, patch panels, NAS, Internet
connection (modem).

Here are some racks I have been looking at:

http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/Wall_Mount_Relay_Rack.asp
http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/Linier_Fixed_Wallmount_Cabinet.asp

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816215305
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816228141
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816129086
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816228075

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=105&cp_id=10516&cs_id=1051608&p_id=10332&seq=1&format=2

Closed is alright, but open is probably best.

Any tips, suggestions, or pointers welcome.

Jonathan

Thanks, but we actually already have a full rack and it is far more than we
need. Hence the search for something smaller.

Is there some sort of Pinterest style website for people like us so we can
track cool things like this? Symlinkterist? Instead of pin things you
"symlink" to it?

That is a good idea. Topics like this keep coming back.
