Author Topic: Need equip. rack suggestions Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-24-2003 01:02 AM                     I'm in the market to buy a new storage rack for my home theater gear. But I just haven't found anything I like that also doesn't cost a fortune. Anyone have any ideas? I like stuff that is kind of contemporary looking. For example, my computer desk is an Anthro Cart, which is just basically a heavy duty tubular steel desk with two large storage shelves. I forked over $700 for this thing since it was about the only thing I could find deep enough to hold a 21" CRT monitor and 12" X 12" graphics tablet in front of it. Naturally I don't want to pay $700 for something that only needs to hold a receiver, DVD changer, VCR and satellite dish box. One of these days I may cave in and buy an X-Box to add to the pile of equipment. Is there anything out there that looks nice, is not made of cheap-ass particle board and comes in at under the $150 to $200 price range? Something modular would be cool.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-24-2003 02:59 AM                     Middle Atlantic makes nice professional racks as well as contemporary style furniture with rack mounts in them. Anything you have without rack mounts could be placed on a rack mount shelf. Middle Atlantic  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I'm certain that the Middle Atlantic stuff will be less expensive, though.  |  IP: Logged William T.

They are sweet for the price  |  IP: Logged
