[Jeff, Daniel]

I took an existing 24" tall 19" Electronics Rack and drilled holes in the two side panels for #10 screws using a #3 bit (the height of the width of the existing slots). These holes were both 1.125" from the top. One hole was 0.54" from the inside of the "jut out" that holds the shelves, the other was 1.25" further back (so 1.79" from the inside of the jut out). Note that these holes are further from the jut out than the existing slots so that the cross bar can fit behind the jut out instead of above it.

I then cut ~0.7" off the panels using a band saw in the MCE shop. These panels are made of steel, so I used the band saw meant for steel. I did this after drilling the holes so that I could clamp the panels more easily.

We then assembled the electornics rack, attached the shelf, and placed the SHG Temperature Controller on it. The new rack fits nicely under the optics table.
