I think there's still a 42U telco rack hanging around one of my mates places disused if anyone in Brisbane wants it. It's in pretty crappy condition though...<BR>

I have a full height 42RU rack at home. Bought it for like $50 off ebay.<BR>
<BR>
Currently got an assortment of rack mounted servers and cisco gear in it.<BR>
