Good point, although I picked up a half dozen noname racks from the company next to me, and the dell versa rails go in perfectly. Not to mention you can get Dell racks for a decent price if your rep likes ya :p
That being said 90 percent of my servers are dell, with an hp 1u itanium and a compaq alpha thrown in for fun. Also for what it's worth the barracuda spam firewall and google mini slide right in as well, although since those have no rails I suppose it's a moot point -Marty ------------------------------ Sent by Marty Nelson from a handheld device -----Original Message----- From: "Eric Woodford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Sent: 7/1/2008 4:37 PM Subject: Re: Server Room - Suggestions on rack enclosures >From my experience, get the rack enclosures that work with your servers. >Worked at a company that had to file down the rails in order to fit the holes >on the racks..

This was to be the Server room only, but now my work area also. :( NOISE! Side effect, I have no one watching over my shoulder. :) Now that I have cleaned out the previous occupants, got a 1950's modular desk in place and got the Servers in a place I can actually manage them, I though a Server room redesign was in order. I am looking for recommendations on full rack enclosures.
