Anyone know where to get more for cheap? I really need to get my PDU's mounted!

These guys are VERY cool. Ive bought a lot of rack parts and custom shelving from them in the past.

If anyone has a site with better pricing, please post!

I figured I can get away with square nuts for NOW. Thanks for the site.

Are cage nuts the special clips that Dell rack use to mount regular rack hardware (with screw holes, instead of the square ones that seem to be proprietary with Dell servers)?

Many racks utilize them. They're quite useful, but some are easy to bend and really mess up. They're not really propritary.

Most (every one I've encountered anyway) audio racks holes are threaded. Not all Telco racks are, though...
