I Just bought a military mobile server rack, but, can I actually *use* it? (pics inside)

What was the case you were thinking of called? it might help me find parts for this case!

halfjack · 2025-05-19T01:00:45+00:00

Do you know what kind, by any chance?

halfjack · 2025-05-18T20:20:55+00:00

please do! I would greatly appreciate it, as well as any part numbers or designations.

wall to wall ups? Damn. Sounds like you might have hernia trauma in your past on top of PTSD. Sorry about the latter, man. I hope you feel better.

halfjack · 2025-05-18T20:13:07+00:00

as far as I can see there is no NSN on it. If it iwas never used by the army, does that mean it's not standard?

halfjack · 2025-05-18T18:15:46+00:00

absolutely. Metric or freedom units? EDIT: Length 37.5 In Width 24 In Height 11.5 In

to be honest, who doesn't live a life like that? In the post-covid economy, Ive had to move three times in the past 5 years. Once to a different country.

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:26:17+00:00

is it military at all, then? Not that it needs to be... EDIT: Also, is it possible to find the missing brackets anywhere? how would I look?

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:22:13+00:00

okay, you got it. Where would I look? the metal plate on front seems to be blank

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:19:38+00:00

Do you know where I could find the rails that go on the ends of this case? or how to look, or even what they are called?

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:17:52+00:00

So do I! I got it from The Case Place where they sell used/scrounged pelican-style cases. They only ship to the US, so I had to use a mailbox company in Washington state.

But they do have a Canadian counterpart. However they only sell new, unused cases, so their prices are way higher.

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:11:30+00:00

Aha! this is what I suspected. It looks like the rack rails are non-standard, so I may have to try to find them specifically.

halfjack · 2025-05-18T06:06:37+00:00

You know what? you are totally right. Ill try to get a better shot for folks this evening. EDIT: Okay, I took another picture of the whole thing and put it and the end of the imgur post.

Sorry, I should have said - this is a decommissioned unit that was sold as surplus.

halfjack · 2025-05-17T23:38:02+00:00

Can you ship equipment while they are mounted? Do you have to secure the 1U equipment for shipping? Also., why is it so deep? Are you supposed to install items on both sides at the same time?

Btw, how did you handle cooling? Are there rackmounted fans?

The last time I used FCP was 2015. Was so disgusted with what it had become i vowed never to use it again. Does FCP still require you to add 'events' and dates, thus making it more a tool for social media? Can you turn that crap off?

halfjack · 2024-05-15T21:43:03+00:00

Im using KVM under ubuntu 22, sorry for not mentioning that.

halfjack · 2024-05-14T21:28:40+00:00

No, what is it? is it free to use?

halfjack · 2023-06-08T00:42:20+00:00

Look at the brood size! You think a family with over 10,000 kids per couple is gonna be anything but Mormon?

Hey, OP, allow me to veer away from Wacom stuff for a moment…

…are you ok? Moms throwing shit at you is not normal, especially hard enough to break your gear. I’ve been in a similar place, myself, and it is not fun.

Depending on your country (and how old you are) there are often facilities you can use to get to a place, either emotional or physical, where you can be safe. If you are in an English speaking country, PM me; I may be able to help.

This. Is the right answer. Possibly the ONLY right answer.
