New Cabinet / Good dealer

2009-11-11 by David Moylan

I just received a new cabinet from nice-racks.com that I'm really happy 
with. I posted some pictures at

http://schmedley.com/moylando/

It's a 26U slanted cabinet.  I already had an 18U that they made me a 
while back.  I went with a larger slanted one because I've learned space 
runs out quick, I like the ergonomics, and the additional height at the 
bottom sets the modules above a keyboard.

The cabs use standard rack rails, so I'm using 10-32 stainless allen 
head screws rather than the standard MOTM 8-32.  The heads are small and 
the stainless color helps demarcate the module boundaries.  The cabinets 
also have rails on the rear for mounting power supplies.

I think the photos illustrate what might be called 'feature creep' in 
the software world.  Top cabinet is the first I built myself (15U). 
That filled up quick so I got the middle cabinet (18U).....and so on....

Nice-racks is really responsive, can handle just about any custom 
request, and I think the prices are reasonable.  Overall a great option 
for those looking for cabinet solutions.  They don't list MOTM cabs on 
the site anymore, but they can and do make them.

FWIW, I have no affiliation with them besides being a customer.
