I purchased this rack for my home server setup. It's definitely a sturdy rack and well constructed. 3/4 of the way through the build, I noticed i was missing one of the top bracket pieces. I contacted Rosewill regarding getting a replacement piece. They said they couldn't send out a single replacement piece, but they could send a 2nd new rack & I was to remove any pieces that I needed & return the rest using a preprinted UPS label. The 2nd rack arrived within 2 days. Excellent customer service!

Very sturdy No sharp edges Mounting hardware included Rugged Paint job

Mostly designed for 2U server with cage screws and washers, but can be used for many other things as well with the right screw kits. The size is versatile and standard, it fits in standard tool chest cabinets as well with tool-less installation as a secondary shelf with lips on every side of the shelf. Does not fit in any personal computer cases, but only in standard sized rack mount frames, which can also be used for a variety of specialized purposes, because that's the way it is. This is probably mostly appropriate for personal servers or small quantity orders inside mid-sized corporations. Most corporations do not use more than a few 2U/1U frames or servers. This is because they are not needed and other kinds of systems are used. There is not much difference compared to other similar 2U shelves. No shape optimization is present nor should be needed, just follow industry trends is sufficient. The thermal vents are designed correctly with structural strength factored in the design based on general industry structural guidelines. The material is obviously regular steel with a spray paint surface finish. The price is about right for this kind of server accessory. Steel is one of the best choices for this kind of applications, it is high strength designed for low cycle loads. As a result, Infinite life is definitely expected.



Good, strong rack. 25U is ample space for a home lab, and that is resizable (length-wise) is a definite plus.


It’s a substantial piece of hardware; you’d expect to see at an industrial supply warehouse, more so than an electronic component outlet, unless you're looking specifically for rack hardware. Departing from its original intended use, rack mounted components, it’s difficult to comprehend alternative uses until you see/ hold it. Call/use it whatever way you like; shelf, platform, bracket, it’s a winner. It’s capable of performing many functions, install it, horizontal right-side up/down - or – vertically. It appears to be surprisingly tough (weight/finish). Attachment points are well engineered. Slots intended for ventilation to serve as readily available attachment points; especially useful when mounted vertically or overhead. Mounted horizontally right-side up, reversed, it provides a lip to hold small items from dropping; mounted vertically, its accompanying slots offer numerous anchor points for all kinds of stuff; i.e Bungee hooks. It’s substantial nature accommodates a myriad of one-off applications, i.e., vertical/overhead mount for 160 degree convex mirror. Use it as a platform for IP cameras with magnetic bases. Benefiting from a plug strip (tidy things up), amazing how well it’d suit it is for this application. Additionally, if you're not aware of the newest generation of magnets, Google N52, it’s mind boggling what a substantial base like this is capable of accomplishing when joined to powerful magnets.

For the price, this is really a great rack. Heavy duty feel to the construction. It all goes together without much pain.



-Durable powdercoat -Sturdy -Rack nuts are neither too loose nor too tight. Can be removed without a tool, but they don't fall out.




We've used this to terminate 25 Cat6 cables in a patch panel, and mount two switches in our comms room. It's easy to mount to wall. Uprights can be easily moved back or forward, and the positions are marked on them. The 24" depth allows for most switches and similar gear. It comes with enough mounting hardware; the door can be mounted left or right, the side panels come off for easy installation, cables can enter through back, bottom or top panel. The cabinet has excellent ventilation: side panels and front door are perforated; optional set of fans can easily be installed in roof.




This enclosure is large and suited my needs perfectly. The roller wheels make it easy to move around and get it right where you want it. The four doors make installing items quick and easy.
