Just buy a rack. You can get a Dell rack for $1,000 or so, which is
much less than the IBM spec rack. That's where are 520 is.

Subject: Rack-mountable 520 without a rack?
Because there is a future possibility of shipping our brand new (so
far,
hasn't even been powered up since it left the factory) 520 to a
co-location facility, the boss decided to get the rack-mountable
version
(because it's cheaper to co-locate a rack-mountable box).
But without a rack. (Racks are expensive.) And the only racks we have
in
the building are just 2-post open-frame racks, for our communications
gear and our failover switch. Even if there were sufficient space
behind
to support the new box (which there isn't), it wouldn't be stable.
At the moment, the new box is sitting, naked, atop the carcass of our
200.
Anybody here had any experience running rack-mountable 520s without
the
rack?
