    Default Any chance you can lend me rails?

    I just realised that rail kit will cost me half of the server due to weight and cost of sending it from the UK to USA.

    Is there any chance you can find me a pair of spare rails or a shelf perhaps?

    I bought Dell R210.

    We can provide universal Gruber rail kits for a $40 installation fee. It is usually better to provide Dell rapid rails if you can, as they tend to make mounting and working on Dell machines much easier. Unless it's going to cost $40 more just to ship the server with rails, I would suggest including them.

    We do not use any Dell equipment internally, so we have no spare Dell-specific parts on hand.

    It's a shame that Dell doesn't provide standard mounting ears on their servers because the R210 is short enough that the front bracket could hold it up just fine if there were someplace to get four screws into it.

    So far the cheapest I can see is £33 plus considerable postage. I think I'd go for your Gruber option. Thanks!
