Re: OT : Help to rackmount a Sunfire V100

Hi,

We had 10s of these, and, yes, they had special mounts that the V100
could slide in and out of.  Have you tried ebay?

The simpliest is probably to just put a shelf in and stack them, they
are very light.  Or, just let it rest on the system below.  Ugly, 
I know.

Either that or go poke around some hardware store, buy some
bits of steel, and, start drilling.  Good luck.


cheers
