MrMez Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 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
MrMez Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 can it be flatpacked? Perhaps if you have a car crusher available! 8O
john Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Most Racks can be pulled to bits by a bloke with a bit of nouse about them AKA Any IT Guy
MrMez Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 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.
Oops_my_bad Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 So it looks like whoever gets it will need to beam it over to them
tosca925 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm interested and i'm also up in Norfolk the weekend. PM sent
MrMez Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 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... It is located in North Norwich 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. Sorry to appear sarcastic, but I am offering it for free. I'm not sure what more I can offer? :?

MrMez Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 So it looks like whoever gets it will need to beam it over to them 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?
Butuz Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 IS this still available? What width/depth size is the cabinet? EG 800x800 or 600x800 etc. Cheers Butuz
MrMez Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 IS this still available? What width/depth size is the cabinet? EG 800x800 or 600x800 etc. Cheers Butuz I have had some interest, but at the moment is still available. I went to check the size, but didn't have a proper tape to measure it with. Using a ruler though (!) it is approx 800mm deep and 600mm wide. Thanks James
Oops_my_bad Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Hi MrMez Is this still available and can you provide any pics? I may be interested just seeing about hiring a suitable sized van/truck :p Also what sort of condition is it in?
MrMez Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Hi Teddy Sorry for the delay. I hopefully have a new owner lined up now, but if anything changes, I'll let you know. With regard to your questions, a photo might be difficult as the rack is currently laying on it's side with other stuff piled up around it. However, it is in very good nick and is pretty similar to the new 4210 with a few cosmetic differences - see Dell picture attached. Thanks for your interest though.
plexer Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Many thanks to MrMez for the cabinet. I picked it up yesterday evening, amazing what you can get in a vauxhall meriva. I also learned his terrible dark secret but promised I wouldn't reveal it so he doesn't get witch hunted by the Norfolk guys on here. Ben
MrMez Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 You're very welcome! And thank you for your discretion - it would be soooo embarrassing if anybody ever knew! I was also impressed by your Meriva - I nearly bought one myself a couple of years ago but then got something a bit cheaper. I think I might get one next time I'm changing cars though. I found the keys and some other bits for it, so let me know if you're in the Norwich area in the near future and we can arrange to meet up to hand them over. All the best James
GrumbleDook Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Witch hunt??? Where!!! Craig Ah ... that'll be Jake ... he's been hunting Witch for some time now. ;-)
john Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Ah but remember Tony, Jakes locked up in his cage to keep Witch safe
