RE: Home made cabinets for rack mount gear

[Mike Griffiths <mike@xxxxxxx>]

Steve
Really need to know what you are going to put in this rack
If it is all light weight stuff like jack fields then you can make it out
o=
f
wood and just buy some rack strip
Don't build anything until you have the 19" jack fields as these will
=
give
you the spacing of the wood 
All you need then is the cage nuts and screws and you are away

If you want to start putting UPS, Servers, etc
And other heavy stuff 
You then need rack strip at the back as well
This becomes harder to fix in wood and purpose built 19" racks become
=
the
norm.

Hope this helps
Mike
