Review: Excellent 10 inch rack - I wanted something like this to tidy up some of my smaller IT estate, and this certainly a good place to start! Arrived well presented, and extremely well packed/protected. Fairly simple, albeit a bit fiddly to assemble with all the right screws, etc, along a spare of each. Everything needed was supplied - except possibly some cable ties It fits together well, and seems fairly solid. I made one simple mistake, which was putting the aluminium bars in the wrong way up, which of course prevents the top and bottom from being used - easy to swap round, even when fully assembled. However I haven't managed to as much as I intended in place - it is surprisingly small - even though I had all the measurements! In due course I will probably get either a taller one, or a small 19inch rack in the back room Overall I would highly recommend, but suggest reviewing the dimensions first
Review: WOOW! perfect solution! - this product (and its associated bits snd bobs!) is excellent! i can now put my whole home network in a single rack and take it with me without deconstructing my whole network! (a right setup! lol) my network is basically a tplink router, tplink poe 8 port switch, 5+ raspberry pi 4's running as servers (powered via poe), tplink ap (powered by poe) and a philips hue mk2 bridge. my current setup is wire sphagetti but this unit (along with a 12 port geekpi patch panel (pass thru, plug cable in outside then plug another inside then to your devices... mess is inside not outside!), 2x 4 slot raspberry pi docks, a 3 socket rackmount pdu (rack mains plug board) and a few shelves for it... amazing! the size of the rack is amazing, its small but so very perfect for network gear and even stashing small pc's or macs! you have a home network... get one of these! remember to look at all the gear for these... its mindblowingly awesome stuff!
