CyberPower Carbon CR42U11001 42U Rack Enclosure,black

I've had this rack for a while now and must say I could be happier with it. First and foremost, the guys who delivered it were champs. This thing is pretty heavy and they helped me get it up to my garage. It came well packaged for shipment almost like the ones we get at work: it's own wood pallet, plastic wrapped, etc... It's pretty deep. I'm able to comfortable install an Dell R710 and R610 in with plenty of room to spare at the back. The removable side panels and doors make it a breeze to configure the rails how you need them and install your network gear. Did I mention this thing is big? It's big. I'm literally running a segmented network with three routers, three switches, a firewall, rackable power supply, NAS server and some 10Gb gear and there is plenty of room for all of it. I haven't done it yet (mostly because it's winter) but I'm going to install some vent fans on the top but generally it seems to do a pretty good job of keeping things relatively cool. This thing is probably overkill for most home networks but if you want to go over the top and impress friends and loved ones, this is the way to go.

I wanted to have a formal "home lab" instead of random computers spread around the house and this was my first step towards it. This server rack is HUGE, and having it delivered to a residential neighborhood was a challenge but props for the delivery crew, as they got in touch with me, scheduled for the delivery and even made sure their trucks were able to pass through my area (18 wheelers don't have a chance)When the server rack arrived it came pristine, wrapped up in multiple layers of protective plastic and cardboard that took me a good few minutes to unravel, until I saw it in its full beauty. The rack comes fully assembled except for the side panels. Setting those up was a breeze, just apply the locks, snap them in and lock them in place.The harder part (due to lack of proper tools) was to actually remove the stabilizing plates it comes attached with in order to detach it from the wood plank it comes assembled on. After a bit of a struggle I managed to get the stabilizing plates unscrewed and roll it out.It is a beautiful server rack, I inspected it from top to bottom and it arrived in pristine condition, and with all the extras it should on a separate small box. It is pretty heavy duty and good quality, I highly recommend to anyone looking for one. But being the first rack I actually ordered, it shocked me to see how big it is, the pictures don't do justice to it.
