I know this is not a technical question, but I figure that lots of you who
read this list are in the same position as I.

We are tight for space in our computer room. What we need to do is move a
bunch of small systems (e.g., Alpha 3000 and Spark II type boxes) and
associated components (e.g., external CD-ROM and disk drives) into tall
cabinets, sort of like the StorageWorks cabinets, but a foot or two taller
and movable shelving designed with wiring and flexibility in mind. This
way, we can stack the systems in these cabinets to gain some additional
floor space. Our computer room has a very high ceiling so I want to
capitalize on that by stacking up units hig. If necessary, we can access
some of the systems via a ladder. We are not too concerned about physical
workspace for us to access most of these systems since we can access most
of them via our console manager or let some of them share a monitor and
keyboard.

The catalogs I have already looked through only have computer cabinets
that go up to about six feet high. Does anyone on this list have any
suggestions on where I might find taller computer cabinets or any other
tips that might help in this reorganization effort? If so, please let me
know. Thanks.
