Rack to tower conversion for DL380p G8

[biggdogg2800]

Hi,  Can anyone point me in the right direction for a stand to set a DL380pG8 on its side so I can sit it on a desktop instead of a rack.  I saw a universal kit but that's all i could find. Thanks guys.

While the ML series systems are convertible between rack and tower modes, the DL series systems are designed for rack installation only. As far as I know, HP does not provide conversion kits for DL series.

A DL chassis usually has more depth than an average desktop/minitower, so placing it on the desktop would be rather awkward.

DL systems can also be quite loud. Although the "green IT" trend has helped quite a bit in reducing the airflow noise by minimizing the power consumption at idle, they may still be noisy when running at full power.

Thank you.  I have a dl380pG6 at home that I brought from a private owner and it came with a "stand" (see attached) but I guess this was an anomoly.  I see that Rack Solutions has a "universal" rack to Tower product.   http://www.racksolutions.com/rack-to-tower-converter.html  I'll give it a try.

Thanks Again.
