Reddit reviews Reliable Hardware Company RH-6-SRR-A Rack Rail

Pretty much all rack mount stuff. The box itself I made. You can get the AV Keystone jacks and 48 port plate at Monoprice. The rails, screws, additional plates and rack mounted power supplies from Amazon.

I had a pile of the keystone jacks from a previous purchase a couple years ago so I did not have to get a whole lot of them. The toslink keystone jack has a issue of popping out which is solved using a zip tie to hold it in.

Rails were about $10

I built it using an ikea "rast" nightstand and two 6u rack rails.

I use lacks (the bedside ones, something like 20" x20") and haven't had a problem with warping. I use one stacked on top of the other so the top one holds my keyboard and monitor.


I also use the Bygels to hold one of my r710's up, but I had to replace the legs with wood. I remember a few months back someone commented on how Ikea wasn't producing/carrying Bygel rails anymore. I'll try to find the comment. I haven't been to an Ikea since, so I can't confirm if this is true or not.



Obviously, with the bedside one, most servers will stick out the back. My r710's stick out ~8" I believe. It hasn't given me troubles though.


The Rast may be worth bringing up. I've seen a few people get these and install something like these to mount your hardware. This guide might be useful to you. I've been thinking of doing something like this, with one rast behind the other, but since my lack situation is still not giving me issues, I haven't really had a reason to switch.

option 1: Build your own, you can use wood and add these or something like them to get the mounting holes. this will let you build exactly to the size that you need, and can be done for pretty cheap .

option 2: Startech 25U 4 post rack with wheels

For my first rack I put something like these [https://www.amazon.com/Reliable-Hardware-Company-RH-6-SRR-Space/dp/B00JQYUI7G] on a wood frame and it worked well. Yeah they are the threaded "AV" holes but I never had an issue from it, even with my 4U Rosewill FreeNas box.
