... For Ebay, you need to watch it pretty carefully. They come and go, unfortunately you need to find one that is close so you can pick it up since Freight Charges are pretty much prohibitive.

I was wondering where did you get a server rack since I've been looking on ebay and kinda hopeless. Please feel free to e-mail me at dumbfound@gmail.com thank you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22530903 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:16:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22464751 bobc2112 : The spray took to it much easier than I thought it would. Not sure if it was Powder Coat though. I used Rustoleum Universal. The inside is Flat and the outside is gloss Satin. I was able to disassemble the panels and do them one at a time (killing as few braincells as I could at a time). I picked the paint based on the fact it had a cool can (Kinda stupid but it worked out).

Was the cabinet power coat?

Also, thumbs up on Monoprice.com that's where I get all my cables.

Very nice setup.

Feel lucky you have FiOS, I'm stuck on Comcast Business (my only other option is Qwest) :uhh:.

Started with a beige rack (E-bay), 20 mile ride to pick it up (came with a couple 'bonus' drawers in it). Three cans of Black Spray Paint later it looked a little nicer. A couple of old Dells, sit down below (one for music/printer and one Freenas Back-up / test box). Up from there is a new (still to be built out) 4U server case, which will become my main Freenas box, with an IStarusa 5bay mobile rack and room for another when needed. Currently, have a 1.5 TB raid 0 Freenas device in the 3U case which will become my 'project' box. It started life as a MYTH-TV back-end then became a linux Database sever (DB2 and MySQL) but became Nas Box.
The NETGEAR 24 port switch needs to be bumped up to something speedier at some point. Finally the 24 port patch panel and all cables from monoprice.com. FIOS Router on the top shelf (DCT700) on the top of the rack for now.
Thinking about a COAX patch panel to deal with the coax that is split right next to the rack (wonder if I will lose too much signal introducing another connection b/w each run).
