AceDaz Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I after a Server rack or 2 to house some servers. Anyone throwing any out that I can take off your hands for you? Local to Preston and North Manchester preferably as we have a Mini Bus Thanks
Ric_ Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 If you find no freebies, call ICT Direct as they often have some cheap second hand ones and they are only in Ribchester.
FN-GM Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I have a 7ft one but it wont be deep enought for servers.
AceDaz Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Is it just a Data cabinet then? I should also add some racks for Acer servers lol
FN-GM Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 its deeper than a data cabinet. but i doubt servers will fit in
AceDaz Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Ok, Thanks They are really deep these servers. About 25" approx deep
mac_shinobi Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Ok, Thanks They are really deep these servers. About 25" approx deep Nice rack you got there lol J/K Short of that maybe sign up for freecycle.org in your area and put a request in there ?
krisd32 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 i'm sure john @ ICT Direct will have something for you. i'm sure i spotted something when i was down there last week.
mjs_mjs Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Is it just a Data cabinet then? I should also add some racks for Acer servers lol You have Acer servers? Ok, Thanks They are really deep these servers. About 25" approx deep 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. Nice rack you got there lol J/K Short of that maybe sign up for freecycle.org in your area and put a request in there ? 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 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 was a long shot ref freecycle lol, ah well. Long shot but ebay ? Might have some people on there with collection only or someit ?
AceDaz Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 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.
AceDaz Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 was a long shot ref freecycle lol, ah well. Long shot but ebay ? Might have some people on there with collection only or someit ? true @ ebay...but was hoping something from schools. They seem to be looked after better I think lol
mcloum Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I have a large one that my old servers where in, its not fantastic and the door is on upside down and i cant dismantle it as the screws wont unscrew. Its in a container at the moment. Im in Hull
