In alrington at 303 and collins is a used computer store that has used
cabinets and racks.  I may also have one laying around (need to check
storeage and a couple of business partners to find out where it is and
if it is being used).  You may also try contacting some of the colo
providers, as they upgrade they sometimes have used gear to get rid of,
but be careful, I have been burned by cheap providers selling telco
cabinets, which are not as deep and some hardware will not fit.
