Yeah, and if you do rack them by just the rack ears, they'll sag until the ears tear off... Had that happen, not particularly impressive. The mounting them on a shelf is right on the ball, you can actually rack mount the front ears, but put a shelf on the back side to support the weight. They also have a lot of problems with the Onboard SCSI controllers and the DIMM module controlers. I've had at least 2-3 of the DIMM controllers die on the boards, and I've had 2 DOA SCSI controllers, and 3 that failed in use. I'll never buy those boxes again, you can get much better boxes from BSDi or some other reputable vendor.
