For what it is worth, I have purchased a number of used but nice looking 42U
Rittal cabinets (used by COMPAQ etc.) from Ebay for about $200 each.  They
mainly came from an outfit in Chicago but the freight company under contact
to MSU (USF Holland inc. at that time) picked them up and delivered them for
approx. $75 each.  I thought that was a great deal.

Bryan,

Fulton Radio & Electronic Supply on Pennsylvania Ave sells a wide range of
equipment racks and accessories.  We order from them for the very reason you
mention; we can pick it up ourselves.

Regards,
