Re: Zone Zero - Rack Depth

["kw1816" <kw1816@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only down side to using a shallow rack is that you find you can't
use standard rackmount server/ server rails etc.

Took me ages to find suitable rails for my shallow rack and they were
much more expensive than the standard sizes. Ditto rackmount server
cases.
