Would you consider sharing your blue prints? I need to build one. Thanks.

I was wondering that if you could e-mail your blueprints to me, because want to build my own 19″ rack

I hope they stay in business long enough for me to do my next project requiring rack-level fire protection (and when I can afford to buy one new, rather than expired second hand). Every other business making those sort of things seems to go bust. My FPU is currenty unplugged until I can figure out the safest way to use it given that the alarm is disabled.

I have found this company if anyone is interested in Rack Mount Fire protection Dolutions. Forget the FPU this one is current and seems much better. http://www.redetec.co.uk

Great to see that this project has inspired someone else! I got the iron-on wood laminate (it’s real wood) from eBay: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Vale-Veneers

Hope you’ll write up about your build, and take some photos along the way.

I liked your design so much (lovely job!), I’ve started to build my own 22u version. And you’re right about the cost, though, the trip to Homebase cost me over 130 quid! (not counting the side rails from Maplins) It’ll be worth it just for the reduced noise level. One question; Where did you get that iron-on wood grain effect sheet from? I was unable to source it at any of our local DIY places. Cheers.

great! thanks for the info.

the cases seem to be the same: i’ve had a look at your gallery in the mean time. i already had one and two more are on there way (in the post).

i might get some rails in the future, but the rack, extra cases etc have been stretching my budget, and maintenance should be minimal with decent equipment.

you want photos? your wish is my command. i’ll add an url when my rack is delivered…
