I saw that, but I want a cabinet with solid sides/top, and also front and back doors.

I recently scored one off ebay for under $430 AUD delivered and there was another, just didnt have the coins.
They are 950mm deep between the rails and handy if you want to double-end your gear. Doors are locable and yes, it is one castors. The only thing I am going to change is the castors to bigger rubberized castors for clearing cables at venues.
Yup, I had that on my short list... but brand new, they were pushing $1k USD. I was waiting for a refurbished or used one to show up cheap, but never saw any that were cheap enough. Freight shipping is killer.
Anyway, I received my StarTech 12U Known-Down Cabinet RK1236BKF today. I cancelled the order for the refurb unit from StarTech: they wanted $140 for shipping---that's for a flat pack, with a traditional carrier (UPS), not freight. Plus they said it may take an additional two weeks to be shipped out of Canada. I was getting impatient, so I ordered a brand new one from Provantage. Came to $401 including shipping.
Initial impressions: box looked like it had been through hell, but parts inside were mostly fine. Minor scuffs and chipped paint, but nothing bent or broken or non-square.
The hardware they sent me was clearly a different revision than the instructions, i.e. they were out of sync. Technically, I'm missing only two screws; but in reality, the screws for the top panel are too short, so that means I'm effectively missing four screws. Hopefully I can grab what I need at the hardware store.
Conceptually, assembly itself is straightforward. But many of the holes aren't tapped. I assume this means some of the assembly is self-tapping; that's how I'm proceeding anyway. But of course they use obnoxious hex-key bolts, so I can't use a nice screwdriver, but the provided T-shaped hex key. The T-shape is necessary, since the tap-as-you-go thing requires a lot of torque.
Finally, for the stabilizer feet, they (1) painted the bolts, and (2) didn't seem to precisely machine the threading, so they don't go easily in; they required a wrench from the get-go.
Overall, assembly is kind of annoying, but the final product looks like it should be solid, and well-suited for my purposes. Not quite finished yet, but when I do, if I'm sufficiently motivated, I'll take some pictures for the benefit of everyone.
