I am looking to get a rack to put some mountable network gear I have. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look to get one? I am not looking to empty my pockets but would like something decent. Any specific companies I should look at?
 
If you live by a community college or university, they often are disposing of racks of varying sizes. I work at UCI and we go through racks like crazy...

Try checking there :)
 
If you're looking for used racks, check out eBay or Craigslist like hkgonra mentioned. I personally like liebert racks (we use them in our datacenters), but they're not exactly cheap...

Are you looking for a mobile rack, or one that can be secured to the floor? Doors or none? Two post, or four post?

Mobile would be preferred -- No doors needed and two post is fine, it will just be networking equipment for the time being. 24u should work well. I can go 48u if it isn't much more price wise.

Where are they disposing of these racks? Last piece of trash I saw around campus was in Santa Ana.
