Please share recommendations and any experiences with vertical wallmount racks with more than 6 rack units.

We are looking at http://www.bhlpower.com and their MiniRaQ CONVERTIBLE models with top 4u normally facing rackunits for patch panels and 8u or 10u vertically oriented for switches and some more patch panels. We are obviously limited by closet space and this type of all in one chassis solution should work.
$359+sh 6ru vert + 4ru patch www.bhlpower.com/index.cfm?page=products&productid=6
$379+sh 8ru vert + 4ru patch www.bhlpower.com/index.cfm?page=products&productid=7
$399+sh 10ru vert + 4ru patch www.bhlpower.com/index.cfm?page=products&productid=8

Other options available are using regular shallow wallmount rackunits for patch panels and mounting switches into 6u vertical wallmount racks. This type of solution is a little more cost effective and slightly more modular allowing us to spread out more of the rack units across the closet wall and maybe allow for better cable management?:

$90+$11 @ http://www.amazon.com/Vertical-Moun...46954&sr=8-9&keywords=rackmount+vertical+wall

Are there any other 6, 8, or 10 ru vertical wallmount ready to buy?


Any other solutions sold anywhere that will allow us to fit more rack units in a closet that lacks depth?

i love these things but 98 dollars for one is absolutely insane...

they should be a 1/4 of that....

If you have a welder and a drill, with some scrap you could make it for free--and it's probably sturdier. :D
