Are there any 3rd parties that make mounting brackets for the 506e? Is yes, would this hypothetical bracket include a handy spot for the external AC/DC converter?
thanks...

Any number of 3rd party rack-mount small shelves or trays should work.
But you'll probably get sticker stock for what they usually go for.
I personally, have only had a couple people spring money for trays for any of the numerous small firewalls I've installed (ie. NS 5GTs, or FortiGate 50As). I don't normally do 506e's, but the ones I've seen out in the field and datacenters are usually just sitting ontop of one of the machines in the rack.

Step 1
Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface. The chassis is not rack mountable.
--------------------------------------------
However, keep in mind that Cisco Repair will have a custom rack mount kit for the Cisco PIX 506E available for delivery starting the last week of September, 2006.
Furthermore, the Cisco PIX 506E custom rack mount kit includes a space for the power supply so it will no longer be flopping around loose in your rack.
Hope this helps.
