Show Me Your Equipment Cabinets

[pelphrey]

Great thread! I am fixing to implement an equipment cabinet myself. I just need to figure out what direction I want to go in. I have the Red Sea Reefer 250 and have plans to swap the sump out and possible use the entire stand cabinet for the sump. If I go through with this I'll need a cabinet to hold my equipment and ATO container.

Keep the idea's coming!

wow, this must be from an electrical engineer. Very well organized.

Ok, so that's pretty slick. I was considering doing something like this with a set of blade servers that I have. Are those rails stainless and are you using a retractable cable management harness?

Thanks, the rails are commercial grade drawer rails from the big box store. I was in the process of finding the cable guide like on a cnc machine but looping has worked fine and lack of need has kept me from making that upgrade yet.

Mines still a work in progress. Just added the cerebra so I haven't completely finished moving and organizing all the wiring. The best thing I added was the rev a shelf pullout shelves and the pullout contertop.

 

[jimmy2times]

This thread inspired me to move all of my equipment out from under my tank. This past weekend I sat aside 2 hours and got it done... Finally!

Second energy bar mounted inside the cabinet-

Need to clean this mess up!

Equipment cabinet in place!

I'll get before and after shots under the tank stand soon! I will be going back and cleaning up the cables inside the equipment cabinet soon. I had to take my system completely down to do this move and I wanted to get everything back up and running quickly!

I copied many people from posts like these. I love how easy it is to turn on feeding mode now.

I really like the idea of using drain pipe! I am going to see how can incorporate this into my build.

The box is the NBA-10176 from BUD Industries NEMA Boxes - UL/NEMA/IEC NBA Series | BudInd

I drilled out the side and bottom to accommodate a cooling fan, cords and ventilation. The panel the the controllers are mounted to is just a piece of 1/4" acrylic that I routered out and painted.

I'm not sure if I have more pic's of the building process with the box or not, I'll look later today.

Thanks for the positive feedback!
