You could always just buy basic black cabinets and a large quantity of 
the sticky-back stainless sheets at Home Depot.  Those are the ones the 
DIY or HGTV shows use to make a basic appliance appear to be stainless. 
  Beyond that I couldn't tell you.  Dell's are basic.  I have issues 
with the fabrication and quality of the Cooper/B-Line cabinets. 
Whatever you buy it needs to be wide enough to accommodate vertical wire 
management.  It doesn't matter how shiny it is if you have a rainbow of 
patchcords dangling out of the back.  Keep it clean from day one.
