Brian from Backblaze here. Just to be absolutely clear, you cannot "buy" one of these from Backblaze. We don't sell them. You are free to take these instructions and assemble one yourself though!

If somebody can either measure their racks or include a link where the 33" chassis will no longer fit, we really want to hear about it!
