Mark,
I have been selling pro-audio equipment to local churches and the
like, and I may have several items in stock that could be useful.
Of course I too have done my share of local computer server installs
as well, and find that the pro-audio prices on the same things
are cheaper.

Are you looking for the rack rails?  Or the rack-mount kits that
allow a server to mount in a rack?

Of the former, I have 8'in rails, and a couple of 10-space and
12-space rail kits.

Of the latter, I have a couple of bolt-on adapters designed for
tape decks and CD players, that have to fit some cpu cases.  I
also have a couple of different sized generic shelves that bolt
on or clamp onto a chassis to mount it in a rack.

If I don't have something, I know of several shops around town
that carry quite a range of items.

If you email me more details on what you are mounting (not just
brand and model, but dimensions), and what you already have, I
may be able to help you find the parts.  I am assuming that
since you are looking for a in-town source, you either don't
want to wait to order something and need it fast, or that the
server vendor's is either too expensive or not available.  Let
me know.
