Does anyone know who Devtek is?

I'm currently looking at a rack and it's made by devtek but who the hell is devtek? In the auction is listed Devtek "System 66" but I have no idea who or what this is nor the specifications, etc. etc. etc.

I'm also wondering, how important is it to buy a name brand rack? Are there quality issues I have to worry about or something?

Also and BTW about this I saw on APC's website :
Weight Capacity (static load)
2000.00 lbs. (909.09 kg)
Weight Capacity (dynamic load)
1250.00 lbs. (568.18 kg)

What do they really mean exactly? Is the weight capacity reduced when I use it to hold a bunch of HDDs?

Static weight capacity deals with a static (stationary) load.
Dynamic weight capacity deals with dynamic (moving) loads.

I ass/u/me this means (without knowing exactly what you're referencing) if you're leaving it stationary, it's rated for the higher load, but if you plan on moving it, it's only rated for the dynamic load.

Most things that cary loads are rated for static and dynamic loads (cranes, rigging, etc) or can be easily de-rated from their static load to their dynamic load rating by multiplying by a simple factor (.4 for example).

Hope that helps a little. Dunno who Devtek is however.

I realize the difference between static and dynamic however I find it odd that it mentions that since the rack is meant to be stationary and the only thing I can imagine being a "dynamic load" would be a bunch of HDDs.
