Yup, you ****

Those show up ofter here at auction and go cheap but I never had any use for them. I have traded scrap to my scrap guy for the C channel uprights though to use as bracing on a welding table. What are your plans with them?

 

[joelw23]

Put shelves in them and use as garage cabinets....the silver\black one new was $2000+

hmm question: Is it wide enough for the harbor freight storage boxes?

Yup. I did this with one - no door but 7' high by 19" wide open shelves 24" deep will help organize a whole lot of stuff off the floor.

Dam.... where do you guys find these auctions?

 

[cre73]

I have the opportunity to these quite often along with various drive cabinets and always turn them down.

 

[joelw23]

maybe you shouldn't....

3 power strips came mounted in them and they are going on ebay for over $100 each.

the silver cabinet built new is $2500 +

I have one I'll give away, complete with four dell servers, and some other networking hardware. Just come and pick it up and move it yourself! It's a 5 ft high rack, btw.

Wow. Cool looking stuff. Are they pretty beefy? Not flimsy at all? Computers aren't nearly as heavy as most tools...

Disagree, a full rack of enterprise grade servers will outweigh just about any collection of tools you would ever want to put in one of those.

As asked, where are these auctions held that you find these things?

I've gotten a few server cabinets both from auctions and giveaways the past few years, normally flip them on craigs locally for ~$50-100 to computer geeks. JMO but in a garage theyre one of those "good in theory, bad in practice" examples bc theyre pretty flimsy and oddball sizes too. It might be a starting point for something, but IMHO not worth the effort. I'd much rather have that much more room for pallet racking, heavy cabinets, or other items that work without a ton of effort.

 

[joelw23]

I got them from a state surplus auction website.

The black ones are really heavy duty steel 7ft tall and the grey one is aluminum 6ft tall.

 

[pacemade]

What are those normally used for?

What are those normally used for?

Rack mounted servers and networking equipment.

 

[ScottsGT]

We use them also for A/V and television production gear. They make great ammo cabinets!

 

[R68GTO]

I would like to see some photos of these re-purposed in a garage. Some of the ideas seem good, but I can't quite get the vision in my head.

 

[joelw23]

Once I get them finished I will post pics
