Please recommend the best brand for a server rack.

I am looking for an open style approximately 6ft (3m) in height.

 

I am looking at Tripp Lite at the moment but I want to make sure I get the best for the price.

 

Thanks

 

(Mods if I am in the wrong section let me know)

Best Brand? Probably SuperMicro or APC. Price though, not so sure on. As long as it's metal though, you'll be fine. Server Racks follow a standard. You usually pay more for special features (like cable routing systems or the ability to add power distribution bars)

 

If you don't mind used, there's some cheap ones on eBay last time I saw.

Thanks, I guess what I am looking for is one with best build quality but I will look into your suggestion.  :)
