Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £958 ex-VAT for a 24U Easy Rack with roof and side panels, this is the kind of mid-market cabinet that makes sense when you want something solid for day-to-day IT installs without paying “data centre” money. The black finish and the inclusion of the roof, castors and basic bracketry are practical touches—useful if your network room isn’t perfectly “set and forget” and you may need to move it during fit-out. The lack of a bottom isn’t a deal-breaker in itself, but it does mean you’ll need to be deliberate about cable entry and management (grommets, brush panels, or tray planning), otherwise you end up fighting airflow and tidy routing.

Who should buy it: small-to-medium businesses, MSPs, and IT resellers doing installs where customers need a rack that looks professional, can be rolled during commissioning, and is straightforward to cable up. Who shouldn’t: if you’re expecting heavy, frequent reconfiguration or you care deeply about noise containment, airflow discipline, and “proper” cable access out of the box, you may end up spending time (and sometimes extra parts) fixing what the cabinet doesn’t include. In short: good value for a standard server/network rack—just make sure your site’s cable-entry plan is ready, because that’s where this sort of rack can cost you time later.
