Deal #4:

Middle Atlantic MRK-4431 Bare Rack with round hole front rail faces. $80

These racks are an excellent sturdy design. They are designed to be used alone or racked together to create a multiple cabinet solution.

These are $80 each instead of the commonly found price online of $700 for a reason - they can use some touch up paint or a paint job, or you have to be at peace with some nicks and scratches for your application. You can pick from what is on hand and get the nicest one for yourself.

This is by far the cheapest deal you are going to find ANYWHERE for a 42U to 44U rack, bar none.

For reference, here is the manufacturer's accessories page for these cabinets. And this one.

We have the MRK-4431 and they are 22" Wide x 31-1/2" Deep x 83-1/8th" High
Important Note: These cabinets come with FRONT threaded rack rail faces. You can buy a pair for the rear.

We also have side kits for these. The sides are commonly found online for $430 a pair. We have scratch and dent sides for $50 each, $100 per pair. The part number for a pair of these sides is SPN-44-312 from Middle Atlantic.

Same deal - scratched and dented in spots. You pick the best two for yourself from what is left when you arrive!

We also have rear doors for these racks. They use two spring loaded pins to mount in the rear frame. Scratch and dent price is $20 for the rear door.

Come and fall in love with the perfect rear door for your $80 cabinet.

We have front doors for these, and they are pretty ugly. They are the solid front doors. The part number of the doors we have is FD-44 and is commonly found online for $145. Take one of these super ugly works of art for only $20. You could easily use these cabinets with no front door, based on their design.

You can select from our stack and dig out the one with the least amount of nicks and scratches.

 

We have 20 amp, 120 volt, vertical mounted, 0U (Zero-U), 12 outlet Power Distribution Strips, part number PD-1220C-NS. These are rugged! Commonly found online for $170, these are scratch and dent at $45 each. Some genius beat on the end of some of them to remove them and left them a bit rough at the cable inlet. That's not something we would ever do, but now we have them so you might as well enjoy a great deal on them.

These are for 20 amp wall outlets. It would be safe to cut the end off of the plug and *properly* install a "normal" 15 amp plug, if that is all you have to work with. It would be safe, because connecting a 20 amp strip to a 15 amp circuit turns it into a 15 amp strip - the breaker will pop at 15 amps. It is only unsafe to cut off a 20 amp plug and attach a 30 amp plug instead. In that case, your place would burn down before the 30 amp breaker popped. So be careful.

These have 6 pairs of 20 amp outlets, 12 outlets total. they have a 20 amp wall plug.

Close-ups of this model's details. Don't panic - the plug on the right fits into the outlet in the middle there.
Close up of the 12 outlets you will be sporting in your Zero-U setup.

If you have a garage or a workshop, I have some $45 PDU's. Book-em, Dan-O!

 

Accessories available:

Security screws are the ideal way to keep people from tampering with your rack mounted equipment. All screws are 10-32 by 3/4 ” and have a pinned Torx head - it requires a Torx Security Bit (which has a small hole drilled into the bit's head) to turn these screws. These bits are available at hardware stores and such, but not everybody has one and these will act as an excellent deterrent for your application. "Padlocks keep honest people honest."

Price is $10 for 50 pieces.
