Dell 2900 Rack to Tower conversion

I have a Dell 2900 server and can not seem to find a rack to tower conversion kit. Apparently Dell does not offer it but i was hoping someone might know a way I can get ahold of the parts all the people who purchased the "Tower to Rack conversion kit" and have hthe spare parts available.

I had the some idea about the wooden stand and ignoring the cosmetics. I am more curious about the first comment- I may actually give that ebay sale a shot- Thanks
If anyone else has an idea or actually has needs a tower to rack kit let me know- I'll send you mine for the price of your feet and side panels- :)

I'm pretty sure this is the part number you are looking for, but you should call Dell support rep to verify:

Dell Part# 330-0906 - Tower to Rack Conversion kit for PowerEdge 2900 server (Rails not included)

Availability:

http://codemicro.com/store/check_price.php?partid=3648576
http://www.baynetwork.com/DELL/NEW/3300906.html

*I have used CodeMicro before when I was unable to find an older part and they came through beautifully for me.

You will also need the rack rails which are: Dell Part #310-8207

These should be easy to find (Dell should still sell them) but keep in mind they are for M5 racks (square holes) not the threaded variety.

simplypc08,
Did you ever get this straightened out? If so, do you still have the rackmount components? I have a PE2900 that I need to convert from tower to rack.
Just curious.
Thanks!
