StarTech 12U 19in Enclosed 4-Post Server Cabinet, 29in Deep, 800kg/1764lb

I read some reviews about damaged packaging and other horror stories but… It really seems that these guys upped their game! **WEIGHT WARNING** This is HEAVY - Amazon delivery drivers assisted me in bringing this rack into my home (a HUGE thank you if you ever do read this!) The rack was extremely well packed and protected from damage, no scratches seen. The security of the rack is pretty good, there’s some heavy duty locks and it doesn’t appear that the locks use generic keys either - bonus! Now let’s talk about setting this up. It’s not easy, took just over an hour with someone helping and don’t rely on the screwdriver included - it’s great but an electric screwdriver is so much easier. 18U of rack space is A LOT of space for me but it’s future proofed I guess. I love that this comes with wheels (2 of which have breaks!) and the feet help with the weight and help balance the rack so it’s not all wobbly. To say the style is good - it’s an understatement, I LOVE THIS and I’m only someone into home labbing. It can fit a 600mm server with 700mm rails extremely easily and even has a lockable rear door which helps with cabling. The brushes on the top and bottom of the rack - LOVE THESE - they hide the wiring really well and keeps everything looking neat. It’s costly. However worth every penny I spent. Highly recommended!!!

I bought this rack to house some vintage military radios that were originally 19 inch rack mounted. Took me a while to assemble the rack but once done it noe holds some really weighty kit very firmly. Nice touch was the inclusion of a screwdriver and two hex keys.

Good quality solid cabinet, plenty of room for everything and decent price

Llegó un poco despedazada la caja, pero sus piezas, partes, componentes bien, muy fácil de instalar, excelente producto respetando las dimensiones. Si recuerdo bien la compra en Amazon pero con opción de compra con Buy, llegó antes de lo esperado.

Super armoire pour un rack de homelab. Emballage nickel. J'ai pu la monter seul malgré son poids total de 43 kg. Les roues glissent bien et les stabilisateurs la bloquent bien au sol. Le réglage des rails est super facile. Plein de tours pour la ventilation (sauf la porte en verre, of course). La porte n'a pas de jeu et semble bien solide. L'armoire est bien solide en général. Petit bémol : les side panels ont un peu de jeu et font un bruit résonant si l'on les bouge dans leur jeu, vu que ce sont deux plaques métaliques. J'en suis vraiment content.

I was very pleased when my Server Rack arrived, as it exceeded my expectations. The rack is solid and relatively easy to put together. My rack mount servers fit in perfectly without any issues or special adjustments to the rack. I did have a few minor issues with installation, and hopefully these stories will help someone: First, the phillips screwdriver provided (I didn't even realize it came with one, so bonus) was more of a sharp tip instead of a stubby tip; this meant my personal screwdrivers worked better for most of the screws used in installation. Second, the bottom tray pieces were extremely difficult put in, as those particular holes were not pre-threaded. This meant forcing the screws to thread metal. Additionally, I had to move the rack-stand bars out of the way to ensure I could get enough force on them. Third, the top cover panel didn't quite screw down properly all around; one corner was always off. I ended up taking a Dremel to one of the screw holes on the rear side, opening it up enough for the screw to fit properly. I believe at most it was 1/8" I ended up grinding off. Fortunately, the screw covers it up, so it's not even visible. Lastly, There was a small plastic protection film on the key-turn portion of the lock (just the little circle). At first I thought it was just some brushed blue metal to give it a neat look, but I started scraping it off after using it. I prefer to remove all the protective plastic once I get an item in place - this one however required me to disassemble the lock to adequately remove the sealant. This was because the seal covered the sides of the lock as well, which were covered by the handle. This wasn't overly difficult to do, but someone unfamiliar with basic locks might have some difficulty removing this. If you read all of that, it sounds like I ran into a lot of problems - but realistically they were all very easy to solve and didn't detract from the overall quality of the server rack. After minor installation hiccups everything is working great and my servers are happy to be finally sitting in a rack where they belong.

Tutto bene, solo le istruzioni poco chiare (non per l'inglese bensì per le immagini a caso). Materiali di pregio, rifiniture ottime. Direi perfetto. Consiglio anche le loro slitte per UPS o componenti per rack. ;)
