Wall mounted Rack (for switch, UPS, CPU etc) recommendation wanted

Hello,

I am looking for a wall mounted rack, 12 U or 15 U to put in my network switch, 2 patch panels, a UPS (for power supply), maybe a CPU.

For example something like this, but these are $300+

Can anyone please recommend a good brand/model(s) for 12U or 15U racks? I am looking for good value for money. I prefer one that can be locked from the front panel or side panel, but that is not a deal breaker.

I believe some other brands include chatsworth? but they are expensive too.

I prefer to buy new/refurbished and through an online on physical retailer, as opposed to via private seller sites e.g Craigslist etc.

I am in the USA.

Thank you so much
 
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but most racks you are looking for to hold that amount of weight.
It'll run you close to 300.00 a pop, this one here is under 300 until they factor in shipping and taxes,

Also this one should be what your looking and its about 255.00, if you have amazon prime shipping should be free or reduced down enough.

Wall mounts are usually usually just for switches and other lightweight stuff. A ups and a server are going to be too heavy for wall mounting in most circumstances. If you want t o put all your gear in one rack, you probably are going to need a floor unit.

(With the caveat that by “cpu” you might mean a NUC and by UPS you might be talking about some little desktop unit. Then you can use a small wallmount. But I’m assuming you’re talking typical enterprise gear.)
 
$300 is a normal price. If you want a quality new rack, that's what you'll pay. Otherwise you'll either need to buy a used one or buy an inferior product.
