Any standard "Rack" supply store should be able to get you standard
rails. Racks are supposed to be standardized so that the brand name is
irrelevant most times (i.e. get the cheap stuff unless you have a
specific requirement/preference for the more expensive option). These
rails are like the high-end things your kitchen drawers sometimes uses.
Yes they support the box, and allow easy rolling.
OR, you can just pick up some cheap angle-bar at Home Depot (the L
shaped aluminum stock) and drill holes as needed to add some supports.
Still, might be best to just use the rack specfic equipment.

Shawn,
Other than ease of use (by making it easier to remove the box) does the
rails play any role at all in supporting the weight of the box? And if
so, where can I order them locally (other than startech itself)?
Thank you kindly & Happy holidays!

Normally for larger boxes rails would be used on either side to
facilitate those times you need to pull it out to work on, without
fully removing it...

Merry Xmas my fellow GNU/Linux hackers!!!
I got a general question which I hope you guys can help me with: I
recently bought a startech single post server rack and used to
mount 4x
45U servers.
I noticed that the only way to mounted was with 4x screws
holding the
front plate. The rest of the server (all 45lbs/each of it)
simply hangs
freely (subject to the laws of gravity).
I am concerned this is not right and that at some point the
whole thing
will just come down.
The whole setup seems to be holding with out any bending or
unevenness... But still I worry...
