Well, if you're looking for relay racks, I happen to have a bunch I'd
be happy to sell you - mostly 8-foot Chatsworths like 
http://chatsworth.configureone.net/catalog/itemView.jsp?siId=46053-703

I don't like cabinets unless you're in a setting where being able to
lock them matters (or you're doing forced ventilation through the 
cabinet), so for servers I like a four-post rack like Chatsworth's
QuadraRack ServerFrame:

(Note that a "QuadraRack" and a "QuadraRack ServerFrame" are different
products; I do not recommend the former.)

Chatsworth sells direct, as well as through Anixter, Graybar, etc.
(There are of course a number of other manufacturers of rack gear;
Chatsworth is the one I know and like best.)
