rack rails
next come the 6u rack rails

penn-elcom r0821/6 six space rack rails
Black finished 2.5mm/0.098" steel
measuring 10.5" long tapped for 10-32 rack screws

these can be found on on ebay for about $7 a pair




while you’re at it you might also want to pick up some rack screws
100 seem to be a pretty good deal at about $10


and the finished product

it took all of about 45 minutes to put this together. the rast frame is done in about 5 minutes with the included hex wrench. then it’s on to mounting the rails. I found it easiest to screw the rails to one of the 19” modules and then place it in the rast to mark the holes for drilling. once your rack mounting holes are marked it’s time to drill. make holes for at least 4 screws (2 on each side). once holes are made it’s time to mount the rails and then the equipment. I found it easiest to flip the rack upside down so I could load it the top module to the bottom.

ikea rast rack - $14.99
6u rack rails – about $7
rack screws - $10 for 100

the fishcakes normally known as kamaboko
when are in a round shape with a spiral
are known as naruto
after the naruto whirlpools in japan

when they're round and spiral-y like that, they're called Naruto, after the Naruto Whirlpools: www.wel-shikoku.gr.jp/eng/seto/uzusio.htm
But a pink and white fish cake of any other shape is called kamaboko.

The blue room from the Propeller Island art hotel in
Berlin. i spent one night here in Nov of 2000.
Recommended if you're looking for something unique
at a modest price. Don't expect the same amenities
that you would at a typical chain hotel.
