I'm looking for Half size racks enclosures (9.5")(aluminium preffered, height 2Us), does anybody knows where I could order some on the web to be shipped to France ?

Thanks
 
aaah... a question I can answer
I have spent the past 2 months looking for these in Europe and have done all the donkey work and searching around and now have 3 x 2RU and 3 x 1RU at home now
As you can gather nobody stocks them
There is a problem because there is no clear definition of half width rack size
For europe the following are valid

The "off the shelf" unit is the Hammond RMCS range (these are normal 19 inch rack size - but these also have half width rack size) - but... I can't find anyone in Europe that stocks them (they sent all their stock back to the US last year)
You have to order them from the Hammond distributor in you country and get them shipped over
I was quoted around £200 for three

Not good - so I went to a reputable rack case manufacturer in the UK and asked them if they could help...
They set up there machines and now you can order from them - minimum number of units for an order is 3
The price was around £37 to £39 each not including VAT or carriage..
These are all unfinished aluminium - quality (according to me) is excellent
The custom range he set up for me was 1RU, 2RU and 3RU
Carriage in the uk is £9 - they will ship to continental Europe

The contact is Nigel Blaine at Holt Broadcast Services
Tell him - Simon sent you...
Good luck..
