Sysracks 15U Server Rack Network 35 inch Deep Lockable Server Cabinet Rackmount on Casters with - POWERBAR - Shelf - Fan - Hardware - for Data - AV - Computer - Networking - PC Equipment

This is a great rack with a slick look. Definitely measure your space to ensure it will fit.The assembly was fine, though there were a couple of spots that were tricky to get placement of the nuts while inserting the screws from the outside. Smaller fingers would have been helpful there.Two of the spring clips on one of my side panels was broken upon receipt, but a quick note to Sysracks support and they're sending me replacements. It was really painless.If you're planning to use this in a home environment, know that the upper exhaust fan is quite loud. (I sold my wife on this as it would cut down some of my server equipment sound, but in the end the exhaust fan is actually louder!) I asked Sysracks for a recommendation for a quieter fan and they offered to send me a quiet one to try! FANTASTIC Customer service!I will update after trying the new fan.

This is a great server rack. Sturdy, well-made and a great size. I would recommend this rack to anyone who doesn't need a full-size rack.

I was really nervous about this purchase because of the reviews so let me go over all of my observations, notes, and comments and give the most honest review I can as a homelab enthusiast and engineer.Condition, QA and assembly:This is a flat pack rack that's shipped in a tight bundle with foam and bubble wrap. Yes, I had bent panels and some slight damage to the base that I was able to carefully bend back, but this damage was ENTIRELY caused by shipping and is not sysracks fault. Sysracks actually went to respectable lengths to try and help avoid it but you can't control how rough shipping companies are.That being said... A lot of the hole plugs and rubber dampener inserts do not fit. The holes for them are simply too small. I didn't use any of them. Not a big deal.Also - 2 of the latches on the side panels were severely damaged, but i "fixed" them by cutting the damaged pieces away and it still works, but shipping would not have caused that damage and I have no idea how that would have happened.I didn't have trouble with threads or welding. I had ample hardware with screws to spare and once assembled it was nice and sturdy. I opted out of using the wheels and if you plan to put a lot of weight in it and don't plan on moving it I recommend doing the same as the wheels are pretty cheap quality and they will crush with too much weight. (See later comments) The only trouble i really had was the threads were kinda rough on the stationary feet but I managed to install them entirely.There were instructions included and I found them easy to follow.Quality and weight capacity.This rack is designed to be wall mounted, or to be mobile on wheels or to be put on stationary feet. I would 100% not recommend even slightly overloading this thing if it's wall mounted and honestly I'd be scared to wall mount a 35" rack to begin with as I've seen quality racks of that size come crashing down when wall mounted. The wheels are cheap and won't handle super heavy weights but should handle under 200 lbs before getting too stressed. Mine are on the stationary feet only and I have about 250lbs loaded into it, plus the table on top, with more weight there. I wouldn't exceed 300-350 lbs total, as another review said it started getting questionable at about 500 lbs. Also it's crucial that heavy gear be mounted 4 post. The vertical rails are very thin and on its own weight the switch was sagging pretty hard because of the leverage and strain it had on the vertical rails. Some proper support helped with that. With it all said and done (see photos) this is a very sturdy, nice looking rack!Functionality and use:This is great for a more compact rack solution. The rear panel is a solid piece with no extra ventilation. And that screws on which makes servicing thr rear of the rack annoying but this is Part of the wall mountable design. I had to cut out an exhaust hole and install some exhaust fans in that panel to help with cooling there. The top fan is louder than everything in the rack and that's a real shame. This rack was average for cable management nothing special. Easy to install everything. These work well with Dell rapid rails. Note that this rack model offers zero insulation for noise.Conclusion:this rack is a good value for the money. A good budget rack. I'm putting 4 stars because there are a few quality of life improvements that could be made without increasing price too much (like stronger, thicker vertical rails and quieter fans) and there was some manufacturer damage. Also this listing actually needs to specify specifically this is the wall-mountable version which is very different than the same sized, stronger floor standing only counterpart that is priced almost exactly the same. otherwise this is a "best bang for your buck" solution and i am still very happy with this purchase!

Nice sturdy rack, fairly straight forward assembly but lousy instructions. The instructions that come with it are for a similar but not same model. But I got it figured out after a few hours. Happy with the finished product.The fan is a little loud but not unexpected for the size.

As far as I can tell no assembly instructions are available for this model, the instructions in the box are for a completely different model, no manuals are available on the website, no videos on youtube for this model.

I was looking for a 15U 35” Depth Server Rack. I selfhost a handful of servers in my homelab - including the most recently purchased DELL R630 1U Server; a couple of rack mountable Unifi n/w gear, Synology NAS, etc.Compared to other competing products, I was quite impressed with Sysrack’s unit. Great quality steel, well made, sturdy and comes with sufficient mounting fasteners, lock latch and keys. Looks good and easily movable w/i my Lab.I would come back to Sysrack units in the future should I need more.They could do better with the assembly manual though. Not a biggy. If you’re an IT guy or Home Lab admin, at any level, assembly is a breeze.

There was quite a bit of fitment issues with this product. Parts not fully engaging and screw holes not lining up properly. The craziest issue was the shelf's do not fit the unit properly, the instructions call out putting the vertical rack mounts at 5 and 6 locations from the end of each horizontal rail, the closest that actually fit the shelves is 4 and 5. I had to buy a $80 fully adjustable shelf to replace the ones that came with it.

Excellent rack for a home office. Tidied up my server and networking equipment nicely. There was enough room to cram a 2/3U KVM switch above the top position and a power strip below the bottom position, which was a nice bonus "2U-ish" of space. The top most and bottom most screws of these positions aren't accessible, but since the KVM switch was 2/3U and the power strip could rest on the bottom, it works. There are cable paths on the bottom and top panels, so I was able to get a monitor, keyboard, and wireless access point to sit on the top easily. The back panel screws in, rather than having tool-less access like the front and sides, which is a bit inconvenient. I left it off, since I have the rack backed up against a wall.Solid construction. Assembly instructions were terse, but not difficult to figure out. The feet interfere with the swiveling of the wheels, so I took the feet off.
