I need an enclosure for some home-brew station equipment and have some space in my equipment rack. So I'm wondering if anyone has any junk equipment lying around that is 2U (or 1U) and not more than about 15" deep for a standard 19" rack. I'm trying to keep the number of loose boxes in the station down to reasonable levels.
73,

Hi Chris, Are you looking for old servers to gut for other purposes?
Hi Ron, most server boxes are probably way too deep for my rack, which was made for audio equipment, but yes, I plan to gut the box and put some other projects into it, including an oven controlled GPS disciplined oscillator, a winlink server and an RTL-SDR receiver.
How about an old rack mount switch to gut?
Sure. The box is the most important thing. It doesn't matter what's in it.
@Chris VE3NRT Sorry Chris. I was at the office today and I have nothing at this time.
@Ron Gibson VE3CGR Thanks for looking Ron. I'll find something eventually.
Chris
Next time I'm at the office I'll grab one for you. Possibly this week.
That would be great Ron. Thank you.
