Second hand server rack

[William Muriithi]

Mohammed,

Apology for taking rather long to respond. I was kind of short of time
the last two days and kept postponing it. I really had no ill
intention.

Now, we went for garage shelf for lack of a better name. I am not even
sure that is the precise name. What we did was take the measurement of
those towers and dash out to a local furniture shop and picked up
something that looked appropriate.  And its not sagging so far even
after loading 7 towers on it. I think if you do not buy a very wide
shelf, and something firm enough, it will be okay.

By the way, the shop owner of that business liked that idea a lot.

The shelf looks like this.
