Aahhh... I didn't explain right.
What I'm looking for is two separate pieces. Each piece mounts on one
side of the cabinet. It's 1U high and has a "shelf" that's maybe 1" and
extends into the cabinet. So, your server will slide right on top of
the "shelf" parts, and there's nothing under most of the server. It's
just supported by the two sides.
I've been Googling away for about an hour now. Dunno why these are so
hard to find, but they're simple... cost maybe about $30 a pair. No
sliders, nothing like that. Just simple 90 degree angles that are about
20" deep with brackets to mount to the vertical rails.
Well, OK, but what's wrong with a whole shelf that extends all the way
across and costs $20.99. Or do you need both front and rear support
for the brackets?
I recognize what you say you want, but haven't had any of them in my
hands for perhaps 25 years.
