I always say, you pay people minimum wage and they will put in minimum performance.No but I've shipped many servers and other electronics, my recommendation is shove a bunch of beefy foam inside the rack case between the FX so there is no stress points on those ears.. Cant comment on if its good idea, but I can say make sure the case has plenty of bubble or popcorn between the exterior box and your rack those UPS people are angry and not afraid to show it on heavy packages.
you know you might try some spray foam insulation for a more precise fit GreatStuff_HomeDepot just a thought, I'd defiantly would not use duck tape, be sure to use packaging tape as duck tape will fall off the box.It’s a pain to store shipping boxes but I wish I had the forethought to keep them. I’ve sold three pieces of Axe FX gear over the years.
The rack ears getting bent is probably the main damage point. I wonder if Fractal could sell replacement rack ears.
I did pose an email question to Fractal to see if they could sell a double box suitable for shipping. I suppose with enough card board, foam and duct tape you could fashion your own box.
Yeah a piece of computer server hardware would be very close in terms of weight and cost.
This stuff, but spray it inside a plastic shopping bag inside the rack case so that it becomes a custom fit space filler.
Ya pay peanuts...ya get monkeys'I always say, you pay people minimum wage and they will put in minimum performance.
