Could this rack hold...

A computer and switches? I guess they don't need to have a back to them just a front?

Rack on Ebay

You should be able to use it with any rackmount computer or switch with that as long as the total weight is under 660lbs. You just need the mounts in the front for it to work (example: http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twik...rKevinNetworkWrapup/network_rack_9_bottom.jpg).

That's what I thought...Just seems weird that you can support something from the front with lots of weight not being supported at the back

Know of any place I can get a rack that is small and cheaper that that one?

The support is moved far to the front so that it balances. While it may not seem like it, it is quite strong.
