StarTech 12U 19in Enclosed 4-Post Server Cabinet, 29in Deep, 1764lb/800kg | EIA-310 compliant, Casters and leveling feet, 28.9in high, 75cm mount depth, Allen keys and washers

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.

Rather than writing a detailed review of this StarTech 22U rack, I will simply list my comments as they come to mind. ZERO ISSUES : with respect to assembly. Tolerances are close to Mil-spec. Not a single hole that didn't line up. Not a single missing pieces of hardware. Documentation is detailed and easy to follow. Take your time. FLAWELESS: Material is VERY strong. You get what you pay for. When comparing similar server cabinents for less money, pay attention to the weight capacity. StarTech exceeds 1000 pounds while other popular brands (with red stripe doors) don't even reach 200 pounds! My application will be a home server that will also include amateur (ham radio) equipment, a full size Desktop PC, a TripLite UPS, routers, etc. Very very pleased with the packaging, the quality, the design, the appearance and the value. Bottom Line: Do it right the first time. GO STAR-TECH!

Far better quality than I anticipated. Yes I had high expectations at this price point but did not expect the product to be even better. Rock Solid.

I bought this case to replace a 42u APC Enterprise grade server cabinet in my home office. Despite Amazon's terrible shipping services. And the delivery driver literally throwing the cabinet off the truck, I half expected the cabinet door to shatter. Despite this the cabinet survived less the vacant instruction manual and a missing bag of rack ear nuts. I was able to download a manual online. The cabinet assembly was easy and the case is well made with a few exceptions. As I'm coming from a standard enterprise case the rails are all typically preset to approximately 30" inches to make room to standard rack servers, this case was preset to 16" inches. Normally this isnt a big deal to adjust, however the mounting rails do not have set adjustment points, they move on an adjustable sliding bolt and nut mount. This meant I had to adjust and use a tape measure to properly set the rails. Additionally the mounting rails were not traditional U-Channel mounts, they were a weird "S" shape. This worked fine for my newer Dell servers with quick lock rails. However I have an older R300 which acts as a home security appliance which has reversible mount points on the ends of the rails and the mounting rail pushed in the tabs of the sever rail making, i ended up using a pair of pliers to flatten the factory Dell locking tabs to make the server rails fit. Lastly Startech could have put more thought into the base panel inserts of the cabinet there are three of them, they are a little flimsy and don't quite fit with the provided screws. I ended up using a smaller metric screws to secure the panels. This is the reason for only four stars. This is a really good case for the money. Would highly recommend it.

With a number of my network cages that find themselves locked away in a closet, I'm ok with working with cabinets that are on the lower end of the cost spectrum. They tend to be a bit flimsy but again, they are in a closet not getting banged on. The scenario I purchased this one for is an undesired location, partially out in the open on a stage in a gym of a high school. I needed something that could take a random hit from a game of dodge ball and be secure to keep students from having the ability to mess with the hardware inside. The construction of this cabinet I think will be capable of withstanding some abuse. I would have preferred a metal mesh door like the back door vs glass, but I couldn't find one for this size. Came well packaged and there were no damaged parts. Assembly went pretty smooth. I think the only thing that I would have liked to seen was the screws being in their own bags with some kind of label. I was able to do that on my own based on the manual parts list and the screw counts, but would have saved time. Overall satisfied with this purchase and feel it was worth the extra expense.

This cabinet is just fine until you have an issue. This company does not stand by their products. I ordered this cabinet and it had missing parts. They immediately tried to blame Amazon and told me I needed to go through Amazon to get the parts which Amazon does not have. If you ever have to return anything, they make it a monumental hassle. I will never do business with this company again, and I encourage anyone looking for server cabinets to look for a different company that actually stands behind their products and provides customer service.

Contrary to the other reviews, I gave this five stars. The packaging was more than adequate. The screws (changed?) are Phillips head, not Torx. Some of the screws were hex keys. The rack is well designed and all the parts fit together tightly. I was able to completely assemble this rack while sitting in a chair. Excellent casters for rolling (if needed). Glass front door. Reversible (left/right opening) front/rear doors. All tools (Phillips driver, hex keys) that were needed for assembly were included. Some of the screws were tight, but an electric/battery drill with a Phillips (#10?) bit helped. All the different screws/bolts were packaged separately. Because of the weight of this unit, it had to be shipped via freight truck ABF (Arkansas Best Freight) for my order. At no extra in shipping cost and was delivered inside. Also, as a surprise, despite the many ventilation ports, it decreased the overall sound level by about 7 dB. For sound damping, there is 3" (left side) and 3.5" (right side) of clearance for adding layers of your favorite acoustic materials. Forget the egg crates and open-cell "acoustic" foams, just plain crap. Do your research. I'm going with layers of MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl - closed-cell dense poly) and other materials (i.e. SSP Foam Mat 2" thick). And 1 or 2 Large/Slow/Quiet fans mounted internally, using a small Iphone/USB charger for powering them (with an appropriate voltage regulator). And no, I don't work for any of these people and I am NOT receiving any compensation for my reviews.

It’s been more than a year with this server rack cabinet and it has been great. It does what I need it to do and there’s enough ventilation to have decent airflow through it. I wish I had this cabinet instead of my previous open rack that I started with. It also helps a little with fan noise reduction in my application. I like it.

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.

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!!!

Ce rack 19" n'est pas le moins cher certes,mais la qualité est au rendez-vous: qualité des matériaux, solidité, finitions, rien à dire. Le produit est bien protégé dans son emballage carton nid d'abeille. Le montage est simple et facile car les pièces s'emboitent parfaitement. J'ai installé en particulier un boitier UPS très lourd 2U, on se demande comment ça va tenir en porte à faux mais aucun problème, pas de flexion, c'est du solide. Il faut encore l'équiper de quelques accessoires selon son besoin donc c'est un investissement mais c'est fait pour durer.

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. ;)

Im Homeoffice /Home lab nutze ich bis zu vier Server plus Switche und TK Systeme. Bisher waren die Geräte einfach mit Abstandshalter aufeinander gestapelt. Daher wollte ich schon länger eine ServerCabinet um die Sachen auf Ihren Schienen, sauber aufgeräumt zu haben. Das extra tiefe Cabinet erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen. Es war leicht zu montieren. Alle Seiten können geöffnet werden. Oben und unten sind jeweils zwei Öffnungen über die gesamte Breite, mit bürsten um die Kabel ins Kabinett zu bekommen. Meine Steckdosen passen sauber hinten quer hinein. Alles ist nun aufgeräumt, einzeln herausziehbar, separat ein/ausschaltbar. Die dunkle Rauchglastür vorne sieht klasse aus. Genau was ich wollte.
