We use the Dell Rack for our server..
I is on casters so you can move it forward and back and the cable
management on the back is done well if you use dell servers with the
proper rails.

We are a 100% thin client environement. Everyone at all remote
locations has a Neoware thin cleint. That won't change. Neither will
the networking between us and them.
I have to look at racks, wire management, kvm options. the whole thing.
Tight now I have some generic rack with come crappy wire guid the
reseller put in before i cam on board. They jusr zip-ties everything to
the rack frame. It has been a nightmare to work with. I dont' want to
fall into the same trap.
Each of our remote locations does exactly the same thing and they all
use the same apps. I just have to keep my eye on being able to add more
locations that will fall in to the same category.
