Rack KVM Drawers

    I need to get a new KVM Drawer to replace a crap Dell one that will not fit in our new Rack.

    It will be used to manage ~10 Servers {can hot-swap non-critical systems}.
    Does not need to be IP based but would be nice if in budget.

    Does anybody have an recommendation?
    There is not official budget for this so prob 200€ to 500€ {maybe 600€}.

    On a side note has anybody seen and/or installed/used a VESA mount that will attach to the side/top of a rack?

    I suppose the first question whould be what type of rack do you have if the Dell KVM wont fit?

    Is it a telecoms rack?

    It was in a IBM rack that has round holes and has been moved into a generic rack with standard square holes.

    I can get replacement rails but to be honest this a PoS, so want to get a new one in...

    You'll find it hard to get a good KVM switch for 200 - 500
    This unit is very good and cheap conpared to other IP based KVM's
