4POSTRACK25U

What a piece of kit! I made the mistake of buying a server that was far too large for conventional cabinets within the home lab sphere. This cabinet has made the server useable without breaking the bank. I'm very pleased to have purchased this. The frame is robust and substantial... it's certainly not going anywhere in a rush. The metal finish is absolutely on the money making this appear a very premium product. The instructions could do with a little more work as there are some jumps however once you get going, its quite simple to work out. Make sure you have a phone handy to convert from imperial to metric. It would be beneficial for a roof/top panel to be available for this cabinet (there are mounting points) - I've resorted to a piece of wood that does just the job.

Bought this rack for a server installation project in a fairly confined space. I looked around for many days at racks, many are ridiculous prices for what they are, then I came across this one and decided to go for it. Extremely glad I did! It arrived very quickly on Prime (which I also couldn't believe) and is in a very compact package. Installation with one person is easy and will take around an hour. I was also pleasantly surprised to see they had included all tools required including spanners and screwdrivers which a huge bonus for those who don't have to hand. I also couldn't believe the quality. For the price compared to others, I wasn't sure how well made it would be, but it is extremely well built, all parts are made of nice heavy thick metal and feels solid when put together. Also included is a few extra bolts just incase, and plenty of cage nuts and bolts. I have a couple of rack mount servers in it so far, and a few towers on a shelf and it feels very stable, even when moving it around on the casters. The adjustable depth I was a little bit worried about for strength compared to a fixed construction but I need not have worried, its plenty sturdy and appreciate having the flexibility. All in all, I really cannot fault this rack, wouldn't hesitate to use again. Highly recommended.

Great product with outstanding quality, it is strong and stable 15U rack with ability to have a Dell R730XD without any issues. It would be nice if StarTech would have optional add on kits to turn it from open frame rack to close frame a.k having top and sides to it. However, the rack is simple to build and set up with easy to follow instructions perfect for homelab. It came in heavy large box but it had everything and only took hour to build with single person.

Needs two people to assemble, its very easy/fast to put together and adjust to the depth needed, the manual will say what holes to use for the rack depth you need. This one (42u) is 204cm with casters attached, so it may not fit under some doorways when fully assembled (if you intend to move it between rooms)

I bought this for a home-network installation, for the under-stairs cupboard. For a floor-standing, 12U cab, it's one of the least expensive out there so I didn't expect too much in terms of quality. I was very pleasantly surprised. StarTech don't have the same reputation has Prism or Datacel in the the server/network space but this little rack is excellent. It is incredibly well made. Sturdy, with a premium feel. All the fixtures and fitting are included, including cage nuts, two spanners and even a decent screwdriver. Nothing feels cheap and even the manual is printed on nice, thick paper. The entire rack uses the same big bolts all over. No messing around with different types of screws and fasteners. Only the castors use slightly smaller M4 bolts, which are packaged separately. There are no sharp edges to cut your fingers on (why do so many racks have sharp metal all over the place?) and the rack positions are numbered front and back at least in the 12U model. The only tiny issue I had was getting the screws in for the castors. Each castor has four bolts. Three are easy to put in, one is fiddly as the hole is slightly obstructed. My advice would be to put the castors on as early in the build as possible or keep the main bolts very loose until the very end as it makes the frame slightly easier to manipulate.

good rack but it's missing a few things for being perfect. a set of internal/front to rear mounts to allow fixed shelves to be used (these are 90 degree rotated from the typical front cage nut mounts; see datacel, hp & dell cabs). as it stands you need to use the front mounts. cable management hooks stick out the sides so you either cannot mount cabs directly next to each other, or add to your width. having the mounts point front/rear would allow for a cleaner and more compact installation which is especially useful for home type use where space/tidyness is of higher importance. other than that, brilliant cab. the adjustable depth is especially useful as i required a measure between the common fixed depth cabs and was one of the reasons i bought this.

Expensive, but a true buy-once, cry-once purchase. This thing is absolutely SOLID! I'm not personally using the wheels, but the thing is absolutely rock solid. Assembly is very easy, took me 15-20 minutes alone. I wouldn't be shocked if this far outlives me. Tips for making it look less 'jarring' in a home setting: Use a length of black electrical tape to cover the numbering down each of the 4 exandable side arms. Do this during assembly before sliding into the receiving arms. This gives the rack a uniform clean black aesthetic. Use another length of black electrical tape to cover over the logo. When pressed down firmly in a straight line, it's practically invisible when you're not directly looking for it. This greatly helps with the look.

One of the best quality product from StarTech.com. Sturdy, excellent item. Thanks to StarTech.com.

とにかく重い！！ 宅配便屋さんも音を上げる重さの梱包重量です。 梱包を解き、部品ごとに移動し組み立てをしました。 床暖房入りの部屋で組み立てたため、４本の柱の垂直（どうも重さのため床がたわんでいる）が取れず、天井部分を仮止めしながら、水準器を使い何とか組み立てられました。 設置場所は床補強済みの押入なので安心出来ますが、機器を搭載するごとに重くなるので、結構勝負ですｗ 普通の押入なので高さがギリ(2mmの余裕）で、搬入には苦労しました。 当然キャスターやレベリング足は付けず直置きです。 何が残念かって、昨年夏に購入した時に比べ価格が下がっている事と純正のネジナットセットが高い事です。 未だ搭載途中で棚板を発注中ですが、最大搭載時に床が抜けないかが大心配です。

4POSTRACK18U is sturdy and well built. Thick quality steel construction and great bolts/washers for assembly. Fantastic quality for the price - highly recommend.

Ya tenia otro rack de esta marca y la verdad es que muy contento con el EL montaje es muy fácil y tiene la posibilidad de montarlo en diferentes largos. Lo único malo es el precio por lo demás muy buen rack.

J'ai pris la version 25U. Emballage excellent : le carton et solide et renforcé aux arrêtes. Chaque pièces est entourée de plastiques à bulle. Le manuel de montage est sommaire, mais sans surprise. J'ai mis 2h à la monter seul, il faut prévoir un peut d'espace car il est nécessaire de (re)tourner l'armoire pendant le montage. Niveau finition c'est impeccable, une fois bien serré c'est solide et ça ne bouge pas.
