I second using a bigger wall mount rack, that 6U rack is way to small. I’ve set it up for businesses before and they only have about 4U of equipment in there. It’s very difficult to work in there.
I love installing this rack as it can be opened and worked on from behind. Although, you may have to cut the sheet metal to place the receptacle & network cables behind it. This may compromise the integrity of the frame, if you’re concerned about this there’s a non-hinged version with an open back. As far as the UPS goes, I’d strongly recommend having the electrician place a dedicated receptacle in your utility room. The rack should be placed right on it so it conceals it. This way, nobody would be able to unplug it and if they were to shut off the power, the UPS would still provide power for the equipment in the rack. The goal here is to totally isolate the rack from the outside.
For conduit, I recommend smurf tubing. It’s very easy to work with and most low voltage brackets support them.
Finally, try to avoid any structured media panels. Try to use racks for everything.
That's what I've been looking for, somehow I missed it on monorprice when I originally did the wiring.
Unfortunately I showed it to my wife and she wants me to put everything inside a cabinet. Maybe something like this http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-SRW10US-Enclosure-Cabinet/dp/B003XII7WO/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367504357&sr=1-9&keywords=wall+mount+rack+enclosure
I only see two items that are actually rack mountable. One thing to consider is a vertical wall mount bracket for the Netgear switch and patch panel. These brackets can be used horizontally as well, so you could even mount them to the bottom of one of the existing wooden shelves. Once the switch is taken care of, everything else can be mounted in a much shallower space.
If you want an enclosed wall mount cabinet, the Tripp Lite SRW12US and
Tripp Lite SRW10US both support a mounting depth of up to 20.5". If you go this route, make sure the antennas on the wireless APs are located where their signal isn't blocked.
For about $100, you can get the Tripp Lite SRWO8U22 2-post open frame "cabinet," or the Kendall Howard 2-post 8U rack. Both support up to 18" mounting depth.
The StarTech RK12OD desktop 2-post rack for $46.99 is an interesting alternative to normal racks. Due to the slope, you want to be sure any equipment on a cantilevered shelf is somehow prevented from sliding off. Just set the DS1813+ at the bottom, between the posts.
With any rack/cabinet, you're probably still going to need a couple of cantilever shelves to hold the non-rack mountable equipment. With an enclosed cabinet, you can use the bottom and top as shelves. You could even cheat and put some of the lighter items on the Netgear switch.
Also, be careful how you stack the equipment that wasn't designed to be rack mounted. A lot of it will vent the heat up instead of out the back.
Until you put an air duct in the closet itself, I doubt there will be much circulation in there. Be careful about putting all of the equipment up high because all of the hot air will be more or less trapped above the door louvers.
