You might have Metro shelving, which I always remember as Metro Cart for
some reason. I've used this stuff to good effect in machine rooms and, er,
residential datacenters... ;^)

Check www.metro.com and use the left-side link for computer furniture,
then "Wire shelving" - the Super Erecta (seriously, that's the name!)
is the stuff I've used in the past: open wire shelving. There are indeed
a bunch of accessories for them.

When I set these units up, I just order whichever power strip I prefer
that season and zip tie them to the shelf. And rather than using extra
cost cable trays, I use more zip ties in big open loops instead of cable
managers. Just an idea.


This stuff also seems to be available from:

        http://www.nystorefixture.com/metro.html
        http://shop.store.yahoo.com/tmt/metro.html
        http://www.atlasequip.com/products/metro01.html

        http://www.shelvingworld.com/
        http://www.servu-online.com/subpages/Products.asp?dept=7&cat=107&grp=1038

Yahoo picked these out for me based on "Metro cart shelves"

Enjoy!
