That's about right for Dell servers. I've seen what happens when someone
buys a cheap 800mm cabinet and then gets their first Dell server. You
end up taking both the front and rear doors off. On one site I had to
budget about three grand extra on the price of a server for having the
old six foot rack removed and replaced so that we could rack-mount the
new server with slides.
