What Rails to get

[thedangerine]

So I am about to purchase this open frame rack https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132075&ignorebbr=1   and I am unsure what rails would be good for the chassis that comes with it, I also have an old 2U hp server that I want to mount that again I am unsure what kind of rails would work with that. I am a super newb when it comes to this stuff so apologies if the answer is painfully simple. Side not I am a college student so cheaper would be better, but if it comes down to it I am willing to spend a little extra for better quality, but some nice value rails would be ideal

Most rails will fit into most rack cabinets as long as you keep length in mind, so you'll want to focus on getting the correct rails for the server / equipment itself, as that can be a bit more tricky. You'll want to check with HP to find out what rails support the exact model of 2U HP server you have so you ensure you get the right ones.

Check what model it is (like ProLiant DL360 G7e) and look for that on eBay. AFAIK there are no "standard rails".

No stock, most likely a "special order" item they will need to order from disty.
