Re: Re: Zone Zero - Rack Depth

[Ben McCormack <yahoogroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To be honest the server side does not really bother me. If and when I
get a Wintel server i will probably do a normal case on its side if I
can't find something to exactly fit.

I am more concerned with the AV equipment.

Currently looking at these - http://www.dataracks.co.uk/wallboxes/elite202/202wallbox.htm

600mm deep wall cab. I have a smaller one of these that is well made.
