Whats a good quality, locking rack with ~10-14U of space, good airflow, and will keep people From like... unplugging things on the switches or just otherwise doing stupid things.

Need one for some switches and stuff in a business environment... not sure if i'm allowed to give any more details than that. But yeah just looking for something really nice, doesn't need to be sound proof or anything that, but there does need to be good space for cables coming out of the switches; in between them and the door.

if its just switches, UPSs, and the odd short-depth server, then I am very happy with NavePoint racks. They are the cheapest option for enclosed/locked small racks.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:

I have an XRackPro that I was given from a business that closed down. It locks and is completely sound dampened too. I would say get an APC NetShelter, but I dont think they sell anything less than 24u.
