I after a Server rack or 2 to house some servers.

Anyone throwing any out that I can take off your hands for you?

If you find no freebies, call ICT Direct as they often have some cheap second hand ones and they are only in Ribchester.

I have a 7ft one but it wont be deep enought for servers.

[darrenmcginnis]

Is it just a Data cabinet then?

I should also add some racks for Acer servers lol

[FN-GM]

its deeper than a data cabinet. but i doubt servers will fit in

[darrenmcginnis]

the Xserve is 30 inches deep. Iknow thats only 5 more but still. most server cabs that are designed for racked servers are about 800 or 1000 deep.

Freecycle has moved or something, i was a member but it wnet down, and the premisis assastant (also a member) told me something had happened to it.

[mac_shinobi]

was a long shot ref freecycle lol, ah well.

Long shot but ebay ?

Might have some people on there with collection only or someit ?

[darrenmcginnis]

John has already contacted me

And I have mainly Dell servers, the Acer ones were given to us by a University for free. So offloading my non critical roles to them - such as IIS / Sophos / RIS etc. But uses one for ISA 2004 as it is a much better spec than what was running it.
