684808 2008-07-03 00:52:00 We are having a tidy up/upgrade here at work and want to purchase a big cabinet that will house both our PABX and servers (and associated equipment).

We have a quote from our telecommunications people for around $6k. I'd really love to be able to compare it to another supplier. Can anyone out there recommend a company/web site (pref someone who can supply Auckland)?

684810 2008-07-03 03:48:00 Check out Ascent. I priced one up the other day for under $2000 (excluding accessories)
Must admit we have a Rittal and a generic brand cabinet and the Rittal is far superior in build quality. It is easy to see why they are a higher cost when comparing.
Good luck

684812 2008-07-03 04:59:00 I'm sure (some) cheaper racks are ok, but why quibble over a few $k when you're supporting (literally) $100k+ of servers, switches and PABX? nofam (9009)
684813 2008-07-03 05:37:00 It's not really about price (so much) as having something to compare this one quote/one brand against. Especially considering I don't really know anything about these types of cabinets. susann (12077)
