Tecmojo 12U Open Frame Network Rack for IT & AV Gear, AV Rack Floor Standing or Wall Mounted,with 2 PCS 1U Rack Shelves & Mounting Hardware,Network Rack for 19" Networking,Audio and Video Device

At $99 it is worth it for small/home networks. Problem may be space. The dimensions of this rack are bulky and you won't realize until you mount it on a wall or leave it on the ground. I was able to mount it on wall in a small closet over those crappy clothing wire racks in a spare bedroom. Perfect height for my needs because I couldn't use the upper U's of the rack. Only used the bottom 5 U's with a vent. I know its a bit of overkill on space and price but good for organization and use of space.

I bought this to use with a ham repeater and duplexer. Shipped fast. I was surprised at the robust construction. Even the packaging was excellent & it arrived unblemished. Assembly is fairly straightforward, with decent graphically illustrated instructions. Leave all fasteners loose until you have the frame assembled, then tighten & you should have minimal alignment issues.

In most regards, this cabinet is exactly what I wanted and suits my purposes.However, I'm not happy that both of the included shelves sit 1-2mm low (see picture). Which has prevented me from rack-mounting other items immediately beneath the shelves. I tried mounting the lower items first, thinking there was a little play in the mounting holes and it was just sliding down, but... I simply couldn't get it to mount flush with an item mounted below it, even when the lower items are mounted first (and are CLEARLY at the white lines marking the 1U divisions) and provide a boundary to prevent whatever play there might be in the mounting holes.I'm going to try buying other shelves, hoping that they will be closer to spec, so I can use the 20U more efficiently.

Overall I truly like this rack, The look is fantastic, the included 2 shelves is a great bonus but I didn't use them on this job but now I have extra shelving for my next AV rack ! I like that the rack screws was included and even a cardboard templet is included to drill holes or screws on the wall. I did use my own mounting screws and don't remember if the mounting screws are included or not?Some folks suggest in the reviews all the screw holes don't line up and yes I found that to be true but in no way prevented me from using this rack 100% just looks like a tiny bit lacking in Q.C. but hey it excels every place else! Very sturdy, looks nice and high tech and the logo on the rack is cool but be aware it has a BOLD white tech MOJO logo on a black rack.Be sure to check your needed rack size as this was deeper than I needed but was my fault not measuring but just make sure of the size as it was deeper than I expected for some reason. My install helper also made the statement that "He" liked the rack and he has installed many. many brands. The price is right and it looks great, holds my stuff great and solid, whats not to love? I will buy again! ! its a great rack!

I got the 20U open frame rack from Tecmojo. This is the first rack I ever got or assembled.It came with one of those ikea style wrench to install the hex screws for the assembly of the frame.You need a screwdriver to install the shevles. I highly recommend a heavy duty electric screw driver.Installing the outer frame wasn't too complicated, but installing the top most shelf was a pain.I could not line up the top with the holes to screw/attached. It turns out the holes were slightly too small so I screwed through each hole without the stop shelf, took the screws out, and then was able to place the top shelf and screw in the holes.I was able to install the other shelves, but used an electric heavy duty screw driver.Overall, it seems very sturdy once everything was assembled. I even installed other shelves just fine.One issue I had was a patch panel. The screws that came with the patch panel were too big for this rack. Luckily, this rack came with extra screws to install the gear.The instructions could be clearer, but it wasn't too bad.I got the one with casters/wheels as I live in an apartment and can't wall mount this. I wanted the wheels so i can tinger with the back when needed.Inside of the box, it came with wall mounting screws and a cardboard template to mark the screws to wallmount.So it's advertised as 20U, but the top and bottom strut bars each cover 1U, so there's actually about 18U to install gear.It took me about 1.5 hours to assemble this by myself, but I added four other sheves and a patch panel.I added shelves to the back of the rack in antcipation of holding cables and power bricks. I might take them out if I don't end up needing them.

Love it, perfect size for what I needed it for and went together easy.
