Lightweight - Rackmount Hardware A Bit Odd

I'm quite pleased with this unit overall. However, the design of the rack rails, which utilizes separate plates that are stuck to the actual rails via double sided tape, seems very strange to me. I'm sure there's a very good reason for it, but without any explanation offered the solution appears overwrought and "cluttered."

Case works great, I use it every weekend

Light, sturdy, and no back aches lifting it. And no car paint scratches from bumps to worry about when hauling it in and out of cars.

I agree that not all the backplates are glued/taped well together, but it's not nearly as challenging as the earlier guy wrote it to be. But if you're mechanically challenged then I suggest just using some simple household some epoxy/glue to seal the backplates before racking equipment.

Very nice shallow rack

I own 4 of these racks now, I was happy to see the 3 space format. I really like the size and portability of these racks. A couple things that could be improved, having used them for a few years now.
1) The exposed clasps can get damaged, although they have held up pretty well. Ideally, these should be concealed.
2) The track mounting rails have 2 parts, the threaded part is the further inboard piece. This is a little goofy, but is only a problem if you take all the screws out (need 1 screw to keep the threaded back plate in place).
3) The covers have a gasket, that can (and does) fall out from time to time. While I like the seal it provides, just wish the gasket would stay in place.
If you are looking for an affordable, shallow, basic rack. This one works well.
