How do you like that gooseneck light? I had one of the Furman units with a light and it broke on me twice during the warranty period. I returned the whole thing and got one without a light and stuck with my mini-mag.
Just a heads up, my Supermicro 2u is too long for skeletek, and my Norco rails are too wide (4220/rl-26). Something that you might run into as well.
My 1910 and APC UPS fit fine though copycat
ETA: My Supermicro 4U did fit just fine though

The gooseneck isn't actually a light its a panel microphone for the RTS base station. That comm rack is OLD and due for replacement.

had the same problem with my supermicro 1U's rails, too wide to use them.
Only needed one Unifi to cover my client's office and warehouse space. Building is L-shaped, with the warehouse and 2 offices furthest away from the central location (utility closet where server, telco demarc, switch, router, and other gear lives). I loaded up Inssider on my laptop. I was getting roughly -70dBm to -80dBm in the office furthest away. Plenty of signal apparently to maintain a solid RDP connection while web browsing.
Sorry no pics of the install (was in a rush to get job done to head to 3 other appointments).

Nice. I've heard good things about the UBNT stuff, but never used it myself.
Bought a 3-pack of Ubiquiti Networks Unifi. Going to install one possibly two of them tomorrow at a client's office. Was unsure if one AP would fully cover the client's office. Can't find a vendor selling individual Unifi's so I had to buy a 3-pack. I'll probably sell the other one later (or keep for myself).
Let me know how they work out. Im currently using some D-Link wifi units in my office, POE modules, small things. But i don't think they perform that well, kinda slow and i dunno, not a big fan of them.

I just ordered a 3 pack of the UniFi APs for my home. I should get it next week and have some feed back/pictures the week after. I am looking forward to trying them out. If they are good then I might upgrade to the Pro's when they finally drop.
Either way my 3x Cisco 1232s are getting dated. I need/want WiFi-N.

I purchased the Unifi 3-pack available at www.fab-corp.com. A little more expensive than the other guys. I believe I contacted Streakwave and they didn't have any in stock.
Guess its time for me to post some pics up. These are pics of some of the equipment in our backup/DR data room. I will take pics from our main room if I get a chance today.
Im in the process of sending out over 700 Cisco 861's for our retail stores. They all connect back to our home office using IPSec tunnles and connect to a pair of Cisco 3945E Gen 2's that are load balancing..
Core switches are Dell Powerconnect 6248's, access switches are PowerConnect 6248P, Cisco ASA 5520 in there as well. Core switches are going to be replaced by a Cisco 4507R+E soon with dual supervisors and will be linked to our other building using 10Gb dark fiber.
Backup VMWare cluster(3 Dell R710's), equallogic SAN and our backup disk/tape setup.

you in Canada or us ? I get dispatched to set these up all the time for remote locations...
Im in the US. I pre-configure them and then ship them out to our stores. We have them hooked up to DSL/T1/Uverse/Cable depending on what the store qualified for.
Spent part of Friday playing with a Force10 S25N switch that Dell sent us as a test but we had already decided to go with the 4507's. Cant wait to get my hands on them.

Just found out this morning that they are on back order of the normal pack. However they have the long range version 3 pack in stock. So I grabbed a set.

Another update of one of our remote sites. New ProCurve 2520's w/PoE and a refurb 7103dl Router.
Going to put up two outdoor UniFi's and one indoor model to replace our Meraki's.

We have two stacks of the 6248's(4 in our main data center and 2 in our backup). we are running OSPF in the network and as I started turning up tunnels, we started having issues. the 6248's started locking up and routes started dropping. Come to find out there is an unadvertised limitations in the 6248's that they can only hand 224 dynamic routes. the switches were locking up and ended up causing a very bad weeks worth of work for myself and my two bosses as we tried to sort out the mess. We finally exhausted all possible options with OSPF area configs and determined that the 6248's or even Dell's new 7048's just weren't going to do the job for us. They have a very small amount of packet buffer memory and their performance just isnt what we need. We were considering going with 3750X's but in terms of scalability and price for performance, the 4507's are where its at.
Our final config for the 4507's that we ordered is 4507R+E with dual 2800 watt power supplies, dual 7LE supervisors with 10Gb fiber uplinks, and two 4748 full line rate uPoE gigabit line cards. In the future we will definitely be adding more line cards, possible a WAP card or maybe a full 10GbE line card for server stuff.
id prefer not to say just in case someone gets any silly ideas
. we currently have over 750 stores and are still growing so there is no shortage of work for me Vito_Corleone

What's a WAP card? You mean a WiSM? Unless something has changed recently, you can only get those (and other service modules) on 6500s.
(some cards are also coming for the 7K)

Wha? How would you get sufficient coverage with a model like that? Do you have a model number or anything?
im checking now. I think you are right with the WiSM, I just have to find it for the 4500's.

Doesn't exist. And you don't plug antennae into it. It's a wireless LAN controller. It is a central management point for your WAPs.
I stand corrected.
