I will be clearing the garage out over the next couple of weeks to get a new garage door fitted, so it will be ideal time to replace the rickety old swinging patch rack and horrid patch panel with nicer things.

 

I have ordered the unifi keystone rack thing, and have some nice keystones on the way too, but I am looking for something that will match the unifi colour.

 

Before I get something cheap and black and a can of silver car touchup paint, is there anything pre-done at sensible prices? I need 6U of stuff.

 

Also, is there a nice shelf/vented cover combo to put a couple of NVRs behind since they are not exactly the nicest to look at things.

Product code is UACC-Rack-12U-Wall

 

Edit: no 6U option unless you want it on wheels.

Wow, $3,600 for a 12U rack?!

I see PBtech have a 12U in "whiteish".

That looks like the one I have ordered from mighty ape

 

https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/mighty-ape-digitus-9u-19-wall-mount-server-cabinet-38843806/ - came up at $219 for primate + $34.95 delivery. Usually that means mainfreight but for some reason I have a NZ couriers tracking number that goes nowhere.

 

I figured for the price if its not nice enough then I will be able to use it in the shed to get one with a door and sides out there.

 

Its not black which is the main thing, if it needs it I will do the insides with paint, but the paint will be used on the vented covers for the NVRs that are going in it regardles.
