Data Cab for Garage

[visibleman]

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a decent wall-mount data cabinet, or brands, for placing in a garage?

Needs to house a 4-bay Synology, UPS (BX2200MI) and a small 8 port switch - 6/8U-ish sized i guess. Just after something that's relatively sealed, or 'safe' for garage use, to help keep dust and critters to a minimum.

I have seen Cabcon IP rated cabs like these but, just wondering if there's something else out there that may be better or certainly a little cheaper

Chars

Appreciate the replies gents/ladies

I'm leaning to a 'cheapy' cabinet and, like you say, just dealing with the dust/critters etc as i'm not sure i can really justify the £5/600+ for an IP rated one

It's for a Synology DS920 and APC BX2200MI (13KG's or so); i'll double check measurements but it's just bulk and weight that i'm slightly concerned about if wall mounting.

Patch panel going in there too?

Power-line to house unfortunately as there's no way simple way to get an ethernet run(s) there or getting one to an external wall on the house for PtP - can't get it "signed off" digging up multiple freshly re-decorated rooms and a patio/garden - i know, hindsight and all that.
It'll only be an additional backup location with a single camera, so it's not much of a biggie i don't think.

Get some big ol' wall anchors and overspec the rating too for peace of mind.

That was going to be my next question.

Arguably i might be able to sit it on the garage rafters but, can you remember what you used for anchors if i do wall-mount it?

What kind of wall is it going on?

Fisker plugs are awesome for solid wall.

Standard single brick external new-build style garage with double-brick pillars every 6/10ft-ish.
Which is why i was leaning to just a cab on the rafters in the 'attic' space as it's boarded and might be a bit stronger.
Will look at Fisker plugs, cheers for that.

I would advise against powerline for your NAS.

I know, i know and i do too but if i could get ethernet/PtP out there then i would - headaches, cost and logistics just make it a no-go unfortunately.
Currently use old Netgear adaptors between there and the house and whilst throughput isn't great, handful of MB/s, it works and is relatively stable unless we get a power cut which is rare.
