But I pulled an HP rack-mount terminal out of my scrap pile and measured the (not adjustable) depth between front and back mounting flanges at 29.75". This would suggest a 30" rack (1/4" off since my rack mounts to the inside of the rack rails.



I'm building up a rack (home brewed) to fit in an oddball location. I know that some side rails are adjustable. But some (see above example) are not.



What's the true story on standard front to back depths?
