Portable? Tabletop? Shelf-mount? More info is needed. E

Sorry just needs to be rackmount and the cabinet is floor mounted.

The quality of the Maplin rack does appear to be questionable. A customer review on the product page states: "The quality is not good at all. Paint was missing where they had overtightened screws. The front panel was not anodised, it was just painted (badly). The bottom was not perforated as adverstised, and it was not a flat pack".

Yeh I did see that but at that price it is worth a go even if I repaint it.
