simply nice and robust…

No complaints at all with the rack. It is exactly what I was looking for, for an under desk solution. Sturdy and well-built.However, the price makes it hard to justify from a value perspective, particularly now that it has increased by over 50%.

Received the item, literally less than an hour ago. Tore it open as been wanting this for a while so i can fix all my networking stuff in one place. Absolutely no hardware in the box, save for the actual metal plates themselves. No clips for mounting. Not even any nuts and bolts to hold it together. I can understand a lack of instructions, it seems fairly straightforward. But no hardware to make it, at that price, is inexcusable

I have a 30Kg UPS, PDU’s and Switches in my… So rest assured, it’ll cope with whatever you decide to put in it!But, given you can buy an actual rack for £200+, this thing is way overpriced when just looking at actual materials used, as such it only gets 3 stars.

Great table top frame for computer, NAS, modem, switch, organizer
StarTech makes solid products that live up to the billing – here I have to give 5/5 as the frame is doing what I wanted it to do – organize my desktop computer with NAS, other external drives, modem, switch and placed a 16 plug power bar onto its top rung – able to move cables into one area and off the floor. Does a nice job organizing home computer set up.

De qualité, solide et une bonne finition !
Parfait ! Super produit de qualité ! Rack 12U.Je recherchais surtout un support rack pour le mettre dans un meuble d’une grande marque suédoise connue, sans pour autant le visser à l’intérieur.Celui-ci est simplement posé à l’intérieur du meuble et sa conception lui permet d’être en parfait équilibre.Bien sûr, j’ai mis le plus lourd en bas, sur la plaque en métal, à savoir mon NAS Synology DS920+ et son module d’extension DX517. Au-dessus, un onduleur et, encore au-dessus, mon serveur d’application.J’ai profité pour acheter des supports de la même marque que le rack pour poser mon serveur et un autre pour l’onduleur. Ils sont également de très bonne qualité et finition, mais surtout solides.Je suis entièrement satisfait du produit et je vous le recommande les yeux fermés, si, comme moi, vous recherchez un rack à poser.PS : toutes les vis et les fixations rack sont fournies ! C’est un plus =)

Surprisingly Great Rack
First, if you are considering the 12U, get the 16U if have room and can afford it. It’s not that much larger and gives you more flexibility. I’m using this for a homelab. I have the rack sitting on a microwave cart so I can have storage below. I had a 19″ Aruba switch 1U down from the top, with nothing else below and it was rock solid! They got the angles right to keep this very sturdy. I would have no issue filling this with equipment. All the hardware was included and it was easy to assemble. Highly recommended if you want more flexibility then a traditional rack. Only downside is you can’t use rails, but I had the Aruba attached just from the front and no sagging or flexing.Update:I have the rack almost full, including a 2U server and 3U server, along with some shelves and numerous switches. It is still rock solid and has no issue holding the servers from just the front.

Molto comodo
Ottimo frame, l’ho usato per tenere più ordinati i miei (pochi) dispositivi di rete a casa e qualche server.Pagato circa 60 euro usato, a questa cifra inutile dire che li vale tutti.Non so quanto possa reggere dei server sugli slot superiori (temo si possa sbilanciare verso il retro se non saldamente fissato a terra, ma non mi sembra sia predisposto a questo utilizzo).Nel mio caso ho montato i server nelle unità inferiori e dispositivi come firewall, switch, ciabatta e patch panel in quelle superiori senza troppi problemi.Viene fornito assieme al frame una vasta gamma di viti adatte a montare tutti i dispositivi rack del caso.Adatto a chiunque ha bisogno di un piccolo armadio rack a casa senza spendere troppo o a chi ha esigenze particolari limitate dall’altezza del frame/armadio.Assolutamente consigliato
