Re: [motm] Nice Racks MOTM cases

2008-10-02 by David Moylan

I went ahead and ordered a cabinet from nice-racks.  Instead of the wood 
rails I had him mount standard rack rails which is the same method I 
used on the cabinet I built myself.  I'd rather be screwing into metal 
than wood.  I also got rear rails so I can mount the PSU on the back. 
Only issues are

1. You can't use the standard MOTM screw since it's 8-32 and rack is 10-32.

2. With the way the rails are bent there's about 1/8 inch gap at the top 
and bottom of the module where you see the rails, but the rails are 
black as well so I don't think it's very noticeable.

All in all same quality as any of their other racks.  There was no 
charge for the modifications, but this was kind of a prototype so not 
sure if that will always be the case.  I know some listers balked at the 
price, but if time = money, it's certainly worth it to me.
