RE: [Advert] FREE STUFF!

[Paul Gordon <paul_gordon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of updates since I posted earlier...

I was wrong about the back of the rack being open... - it does have a door,
but I never used it because these server cases are too deep for this rack,
and overhang at the back a little, so I never had it fitted.. I'd even
forgotten that I actually had it!

Also, I've discovered a pair of rack shelves that are also included...

That was the good news...

The bad news is that the only key for all of the locks on this baby, has
*just* snapped in half, leaving half in the barrel of the front door
lock...
:-( - typical eh? - I'd had that key for donkeys years... It's not too bad
though, - the lock is in the unlocked position, so the door can be opened
&
closed. The lock barrel is easily removable, so I don't think it would be
difficult to replace the locks & key (front, back, & both sides all
have a
lock, all use the same key)

Last of the rackmount server cases... this one's probably the least
complete
of them all... another 3U one, this is 66cm deep (68 with the handles on
the
front). This one doesn't have a PSU fitted at all, and it doesn't have
mounting points for a standard ATX one, but there's space for one sit in
quite happily, so installing a standard ATX PSU would be easy enough - if a
bit Heath Robinson with the mounting arrangements...
Complete with fitted 5.25 optical drive and 3.5" FDD.

By the way, all 3 of these rackmount cases will take a standard ATX or uATX
motherboard, all 3 are black, and all 3 match each other from the front...

Also, I have a Compaq rack-mount 8-port KVM switch, PS2 only, missing the
rack ears, so it sits on a shelf or atop another device... comes complete
with several sets of KVM cables. Again free to anyone who wants to
collect...

Any takers?

PS, as I want to get rid of this stuff ASAP, I'll give preference to anyone
who'd like to come & take it all off my hands in one go...

And the next one, - free to anyone who wants to collect...

3U rackmount case, complete with 3-in-2 SATA drive caddy to fit 3 x
3.5"
SATA HDDs in the space of 2 5.25" bays
ATX PSU "fitted" - I say that in inverted commas, because this
case has a
non-standard PSU arrangement, - the original PSU that it came with failed,
but it doesn't have the mounting points for a standard ATX unit, so I had
to
just "accommodate" a standard ATX PSU within the space inside the
case that
would normally provide another 2 front-accessible 2.25" drive bays...
It's
worked well enough for me, but you do lose the additional front 5.25
bays...
Case is 54cm deep
Drop-down "flap" front panel cover
Rack ears for fixing into place in standard 19" rack (no slide rails
though)

Free to anyone who wants to pop round to mine to collect. - first come
first
served.



4U rackmount case, complete with a "5-in-3" 3.5 HDD caddy (fits 5
SATA disks
in hot-plug caddies into the space of 3 drive bays)

With fitted 500W ATX PSU (takes standard ATX unit)

Case is 58cm deep

Still has 3 x 5.25" drive bays, plus 2 x 3.5" drive bays
available, all
fully accessible from the front even after the 5-in-3

Power switch & 2 case mounted USB sockets on the front panel

Drop-down "flap" front panel cover

Rack ears for fixing into place in standard 19" rack (no slide rails
though)

Would be good for a media server (which is in fact what I used it for until
recently)



There will be a couple more rack cases to follow soon. both 2U units if I
remember.



Due to the size & weight, I'm not even considering attempting to post
these
things, so they'd have to be collected from East London (E11)



Takers?
