my wife works at the hospital and they had a "all this expensive shit needs to go so buy it for 90% off" sale and she ended up buying me a server rack for 10 bucks. specifically a 2004 hp 10842 g2 42u, picture for ants related. i know literally nothing about rack mount shit. it came with the power strips and breakers and the framework for mounting the racks, but thats it. initially i was either going to just sell it or turn it into the least secure gun cabinet of all time, but if i can set it up and get the proper parts for it that would be even cooler. can i get a starting point and what type or size or whatever racks and shit should i be looking for?

so it looks like 42u is the rack size and thats all i really need to look for aside from height?

thanks, they had 2 for 10 each but i barely was able to fit this one in my garage (too wide to go through my doors) so trying to stuff 2 in would have been terrible. oh well.

If you have no use for it you can flip it for profit.
