Do you mind where they are located i.e. next to your office? and what are your requirements, bandwidth and throughput etc... This can effect the price quoted. I have a few prices for places in Central Scotland if that location is OK?

Rosgo, I need to buy a cabinet to fit into the server room at our offices.

We have an existing wall mounted cabinet in which we have our switches and firewalls.

I want to buy in a floor standing cabinet, designed with rails to rack mount the swtiches, and our new 1u servers. Prerrably the cabinet will be on wheels:

The most suitable I've found are:

Datarack Elite 505 Mini Server Cabinet

If anyone on Scoobynet sells these, can they get in touch.

How deep are the servers?

There are 2 depths on racks, 16's and 19's.

and depth in racks is measured in mm

600, 800, 1000 are common

HP 10000 series racks are the daddy for servers forget the dell and sun ****

height is an issue David - location is height restrictive, so no more than 10 or 12U

Depth wise, its to fit a supermicro rack server - 650mm

go for the biggest cabinet you can get away with

Also with such a tiny cabinet, it may be better to get a fan tray too.
