Now that Apple’s killed off the XServe once and for all, there’s not a lot of options when it comes to fitting the existing Mac server options into a standard 1U rack space… or is there?
The RackMac mini by Sonnet Tech allows system admins to install two Mac minis in a standard rackmount enclosure while allowing full access to the CD drive, power LEDs and even the IR port on the unibody mini.
I’m no admin, but Sonnet seems to have thought of everything here, right down to a wiring and ventilation system to prevent the Mac mini from overheating. Each kit costs $16.

“Each kit costs $16.” Off by a factor of 10… Sonnet sells them for $169.95. Here I was thinking I’d pick one up just on a whim. $16 is nothing. $170, on the other hand could be spent elsewhere…
I love this RackMac for Mini Server, however I been trying to contact the reseller in Singapore and no one is keen to reply me, where can I get them?
