Not pre built cabinets, but I have shipped/received over $1,000,000.00 
worth of gear (routers/switches/desktops/servers) all over the United 
States utilizing FedEx.

Packed everything with lots and lots of foam peanuts and shrink wrap, 
with standard pallets and crates. Never had an issue.

Checkout FedEx Custom Critical.... pricey but excellent (used them to 
ship something same day once..... that was really expensive as it 
required a dedicated aircraft.... but when you gotta have it as close to 
right now as possible, they fit the ticket). :)
