Metal Wire Shelving (shelves) blah...

Googling.... Yodeling.... etc...

It seems that racks (shelving) that I have seen in hosting facilities have disappeared! All I seem to be able to find are sites that offer normal rackmount enclosures or freaky 60's futuristic monitor madness command centers.

All I need is 1 rack.... I know someone has them... rackspace uses em... countless other hosting providers have them... Anyone seen em?

Know where you can get them!? Post it here... and leak the secret! ;-)

BTW... what is with the monitor madness!? With the number of ways that you can use a graphical interface (terminal or "gui") from a linux / unix workstation.... who needs more than a couple monitors!?

Woohooo the power of Google Ads! I couldn't find them searching but the ads gave me a couple distributors to choose from. In case the ads change and someone else is looking for the same shelving.... these are the 2 that showed in the ads here on LinuxQuestions.org

They sell them at Lowes too.

Crito... thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate the response, and have used similar shelves in my home closet.... for work I need a more heavy duty setup. We have 10 foot drop ceilings so an 8-9 foot rack / wire shelves would work perfectly. I tried both Home Depot and Lowes with no real results.

Any ideas on a unit 6' wide 18-24" depth with a height of 6-9' ?

Thanks again for your help.

Whoa! I would of course find what I am looking for right under my nose... murphy's or ohm's law?? ;-)

Anyhow... Tigerdirect has them. Took the catalog arriving today to clue me in... (doh!)

See here:

A direct link to large shelving.... there are many other sizes plus lots of cool extras!

I'm tempted to get some of the smaller shelving from them and move my retail bought shelves to the garage.
