cpjitservices Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Good morning to you all from foggy Hull, I am wondering whether anyone knows where I can get hold of (a dirt cheap) rack mount KVM Console ? I seem to find them at like 600-700 a piece and thats quite a bit to spend on a KVM. Anyone know anywhere as cheap as chips ? Has anyone got one they want rid of ??? Thanks in Advance, Hope everyone has a relaxing Friday!! Kind Regards.
CyberNerd Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I have an old Compaq one not in use. Its PS2. Make me an offer. 1
CyberNerd Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Actually - scrap that. I seem to be missing half of it. 1
featured_spectre Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Ask @CPLTD or @Millgate. They have given me good prices in the past 1
MrEprise Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Not sure whether this might be of any use: Rackmount Monitor Kit - PS/2 & USB It's a KVM rack drawer where you supply the monitor yourself and it's a cheaper option if you've got a spare one kicking about or can source one fairly cheap. 1
difinity Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I bought a Compaq 8 port from ebay for about £40 with cables. Solid bit of kit and they do a 4 port version. 1
cpjitservices Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah its the monitor, keyboard and mouse rack console I'm after.... I have 4U left in a 42U rack, and unfortunately some of our kit requires a physical server and at present I have a monitor etc stood on the floor - I'll do some digging see what I can find. I was looking at the £100 mark. Ta everyone.
VeryPC_Andy Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 @cpjitservices How many ports do you need ? USB or PS2 or Both ? Do you want a console drawer ( KVM, KB and Mouse in 1U) ? New or second hand ? Happy to help you with the hunt !

Thanks in Advance, Hope everyone has a relaxing Friday!! Kind Regards. I've got a Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY KVM S2-1602 Console Switch (16 Ports over IP, 1U) Going at the moment. I'll drop you a PM
cpjitservices Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 All in one would be good, has to be a rack drawer as I dont have room in my rack. Thats the kind O' thing I'm looking for, preferably USB. TIA all.
cpjitservices Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Not bothered about new or second hand.

ICTDirect_Dave Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Sounds great, but I dont think it's what I'm looking for. Thanks for the offer though. No problem, so its just the keyboard/mouse and monitor drawer you're after then?
cpjitservices Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 yeah but with a KVM Built into it, so I can use it on 3 or 4 Servers.
plexer Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Was going to suggest ict direct myself they supplied my cyberview one a few years ago. Ben
