RackPath 12U Open Frame Server Rack – Heavy Duty 4 Post Adjustable Depth with Casters

I LOVE this rack. It's built like a tank. I was concerned that loaded down, the casters wouldn't roll on my carpet. While it does require some effort, the casters work fine. Two fully loaded disk shelves (48 drives), my GPU server, regular server, and switch. Sturdy as a tank.

Love this rack! I have purchased many times for work purposes.Absolutely great product for the price. Material used has very robust feeling.

I was flip flopping on this one for a tad more $ or the cheaper option for less.I sprung for 2 of the 12U frames and I’m glad I did. This is a super high quality unit especially considering the price. And I’ve seen it for under $150 since then.Solid units! No doubt about it. No problems getting it put together either.

I have used several different racks over the years. Some of them are better than others but I was really impressed with this rack. It is assembled with essentially one size bolt (a 13m bolt and they include a 13m wrench with the rack). I ended up using my drill with a 13 socket on it to make it easier.The rack is very sturdy and rigid. The instructions are okay but if you follow the pictures you will find that it is easier to put together. I found that putting the casters on when you finish putting the bottom together was better than doing it after everything was assembled.The only negative thing I can say about it is the packing of the rack. The pieces are wrapped in plastic wrap and it is harder to remove than other racks I have put together. The bolt plastic bag broke while I was putting it together and the screws were all over the box. Some of the frames were scratched a little as I was putting them together. Maybe if they put it in a padded envelope that would be better.I also found a spot on the back of the rack where I can mount a surge protector in without causing a mess.I probably will get this rack again even if they don't have to change anything due to the quality and end result. Totally worth it.

super solid and simple to build

Arrived with a broken top rail. One of the fastener holes is completely missing. One of the locking casters cannot be bolted to the bottom because the bolt pattern is off. I've already emailed RackPath and they haven't responded to my request for replacement parts. This is totally unacceptable for the price I am paying.Edit: I was able to get in contact with RackPath customer service and explain my frustrations. They were very responsive and understanding. I just asked them to send me the replacement parts for the defective ones. Instead, they offered me a full refund on my rack, let me keep the defective rack and will be sending me the requested parts so that I can fix it. Other than the initial defects I mentioned, the rack is well built. I'm looking forward to receiving the replacement parts.If you do find an issue, I would reach out to the customer support. They took my case very seriously and seem to care about the quality of their products.

This replaced my smaller rack with thinner metal. This one can hold hundreds of pounds of rack mounted UPS batteries. The old one started to bend under the weight.

I bought a pair of these to use as stands for my mixer desk. Most racks weren't capable of supporting a 6x3 table plus the weight of the mixer and associated rack gear. The instructions are very clear and the adjustments to make the racks the right depth are easy to make. These racks are tanks and the fact that you can use both sides of the rack for gear is especially perfect for studio applications.Do yourself a favor and buy the rack nut tool (and extra nuts). Worth every penny!

The rack is sturdy and easy to put together. I wish the packaging was better as the nuts and bolts are placed in a flimsy plastic bag that burst, I am missing one screw for the castor wheel. Also all the cable management hooks came broken into crumbs (no protection at all). Some caster wheel screw threads were painted which made screwing in the screw very tough and risk stripping the screw head.

I had some concerns as the box arrived damaged and when I opened it the M8 bolts were out of their bag and floating loose. Assembly was straightforward, though it would have been nice to have the vertical posts labeled. I took my time and didn't install the casters or cable management pieces as the rack wouldn't have fit in the space available. I purchased thus as I needed the extra depth for my Proliant DL380P G8 servers. My other 12u rack next to it is on adjustable levelling legs and it is not quite as high as this unit floor mounted. Be advised that without the casters it is 27 inches (68.6cm) from the floor to the top of the top mount M8 bolt heads.

Overall this is a great computer rack.. except for a few minor major problems.. like the fact that the rear metal post on the right side was the wrong one.. the package included TWO REAR METAL POSTS that were exactly the same, which I fixed by sawing a small section of the metal flang off the edge.. so it fit accordingly on the back right side. I supposed I could have just shipped it all back but wow its a heavy package and Im 65.. not wheeling that back to parcel depot.. ALSO NO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS were included... okay it was easy to figure out how to assemble it just looked at the pictures on Amazon but still kind of unprofessional if you ask me.. and I dunno who packaged this but packaging a WRONG PART in the package is just very very unprofessional. Also the box was dented on side and ripped a bit open so the plastic external cable holders that screw onto the side of the rack one was broken in half.. which was also cheesy using plastic cable holders on an expensive rack like this .. how long do they think those will last banging into stuff if the rack is moved.. otherwise I got it together, its sturdy does the job I wanted but stupid things like this putting wrong part in the package is just nonsense.
