Telco racks seem to be the easy and cheap!

Another idea... which I did a while back, was just to buy two new 7 foot
high Hubble 19"
Telco relay racks. They were around $150 each, and very sturdy. I think
they also have 5
footers for a little less. I got them at www.warehouse.com (click on
DataComm Warehouse).
Gotta warn you, their web site search engine is as good as the Cisco Doc
CD's. ;-)
HTH,
