Sure, but be aware of shipping!  I found a great pop machine, but it
would have cost more than the machine to get it shipped, here!  
Depending on the size of the rack, the usual carriers (FedEx/UPS)
might not carry it.
Local suppliers are good in that case.

I think that equipment in general is pricy.  It shocks me to pay that 
much for a telco rack, only to find it is a few slats of machined
aluminum and some bolts.  I think $.37 each for a RJ45 plug is insane.
But I can't find them much cheaper anywhere.  So maybe I should qualify
that:  New telco/networking equipment is pricy, and Wintronic sells 
new stuff.
