Server Cage Required - HP ProLiant DL140 G3

I have just acquired a HP ProLiant DL140 G3. I need assistance in sourcing a cage/rack to fit it into. All i want is the cheapest, nastiest one that i can pick up without uber expense and keep the thing off the floor. Taken from page 30 of this official pdf http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04285914.pdf

HxWxD 1.70 x 16.78 x 27.75 (inches) or 4.32 x 42.62 x 70.49 (cm)

 

I do not know if it will fit all cages or if there are standards and variances.

If anyone can help me source a cage for it (not looking for a 24 rack pls :p) then i would appreciate it. Budget is no problem i just do not have any experience in this area.

 

If it helps im in the UK so ideally would like a UK supplier, would prefer not to import due to extra taxation costs and weight shipping costs. Thankyou.

You could easily make your own with some lumber or possibly source a used one. I don't know about the UK but there are a lot of good deals in my area for them.

I don't know what to look for, what would be the best search terms. Anything with rack, u1, u anything brings up a ton of nas and servers and cage gets me adapters to fit into the cage. I just dunno what to search for concisely. I guess im not using the right lingo in my searches. Also are there different sizes or are the cages all an industry standard?

Ever heard of a LackRack? Ikea just happened to make a coffee table with the perfect specs to be an inexpensive server rack.
