Dell 42U rack available FOC

[MrMez]

Firstly, sorry if this is an inappropriate place for this - please advise if you think it should go elsewhere (other forum or other site).

All being well, I should have a Dell 42U 7' server rack available (full enclosure with side panels and front/rear lockable doors). It is located in North Norwich and is available free of charge to a good home.

The new owner will probably need to collect it, although it will probably fit in a small van (Astra/Escort) with the doors open! At a push I may even be able to arrange (local) delivery for you. It's in excellent condition and I might be able to find a few blanking plates etc., if required.

If anybody is interested, please reply as soon as possible, as the present keeper wants to free up some space quickly! I have also "advertised" this elsewhere, so please don't be disappointed if it goes quickly. Thanks for your time.

Cheers
James

Damnit. I just bought a new rack.

Perhaps if you have a car crusher available! 8O

Just stick it in a zip file and email it

Most Racks can be pulled to bits by a bloke with a bit of nouse about them AKA Any IT Guy

[MrMez]

I believe that although the external panels can be removed, the internal frame is welded at the corners. And I also seem to remember some advice about not dismantling racks if possible as they are factory aligned and if pulled about too much can be a sod to get true again.

But regardless of the overall size of the thing, it also weighs A LOT! I think it's about 200kg in total, and when new was specially mounted on a pallet for carriage, so using any sort of carrier to transport it is not really an option.

So it looks like whoever gets it will need to beam it over to them

Or maybe they could just use a van? I think I did make this clear...

Sorry to appear sarcastic, but I am offering it for free. I'm not sure what more I can offer? :?

PM replied to (I think!) - should it be in the Outbox or Sentbox?

Aha! Thanks John.

Sorry TeddyKGB if I misinterpreted your post. Perhaps a smiley might have indicated the tone better? It would be good if you could just beam it over though - I don't suppose you have access to any stolen alien teleportation technology, do you?
