Chemning 901B, one of the cheapest full tower cases you will find anywhere, and its pretty sturdy as well!

Hmmm.. I "think" that is what you are asking for...

servers are just too heavy to rack mount on a wall kit. I'd avoid putting some larger switches and routers in a wall mount bracket. also keep in mind that they're generally not deep enough to be of any use.


you could go to a 4 post half rack, but the cost of something like that is astronomical in an application like yours.


what you do is just put the rigs in the basement, in a cool corner, and use remote desktop to get to them. much easier that way.

And I would have suggested cleaning his room.

withstupid.gif Moved my servers/drones to the guest room closet, everything is accessed through network IPs and Remote Desktop. Granted you may have some CAT-5 cables lying around, but that could easily be fixed

if you get some "desktop" atx cases, or cheap rackmount atx cases, you can just stack them up from the floor to the ceiling... you don't really *need* a rack case... you can get cheap 4U atx cases, put some rubber "feet" on them, and stack them, and that'll give you a pretty solid rackmount setup... the cases are so heavy that they'd stay firmly in place imo

many cheaper towers are even light enough to stack in small amounts on their sides.

but I'm with hardnrg about just going that route. cuz I'm sure your mother would not be happy with the cost of truely rack mounting them or worse yet on a wall rack and tearing the drywall up when it comes loose in the first 10 seconds of putting a server on it.
