I am looking to get a Nice Rack for the CCNA Lab I am building and future CCNP work etc and to consolidate all my computer and networking equipment I have laying around.
The main question I have is, Are all racks a standard distance apart so if you purchase a rack from black box but get an accessory such as a sliding shelve, will that fit into the rack correctly? The same goes with any networking or computer equipment that is rack mountable, they are all a standard rack size width?
Would something like this Black Box rack be good? http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/19-Steel-Distribution-Rack-40U-74-H-Black/RM391AĂR2 I am wondering how sturdy something like this is? I know the Skeletek racks are highly recommended but I am unsure which to get.
I have a Norco-4020 server case that I would plan to mount at the very bottom and place another smaller Antec 300 case on it's side on top of that, then mount all my cisco gear above it on the rack along with a sliding shelve for my laptop and a shelve for keyboard and 19" LCD. How sturdy would a rack like this be to support all that? would I need a 4 post rack?
