Howto Build your own Rack Cabinet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-check-out dept.

OC Mojo News Desk submitted their story about how to build your own rack. Useful for anyone who has a pile of audio gear, or stereo equipment, or perhaps a few rackable PCs that they think should be using space more efficiently.

  1. I like big racks. by FFFish · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yup. Great big racks always catch my eye. Don't think I can build my own, though...

    Don't like it? Respond with words, not karma.
  2. What we used: Dexion and plywood. by Christopher+Thomas · · Score: 5, Informative

    My father runs a small business, and had to rack a few systems. He just bolted together some Dexion angle-iron and put on plywood shelves.

    Dexion ( http://www.dexion.com ) makes all kinds of shelving-related stuff. Their angle-iron looks like giant pieces from an erector set; sturdy L-cross-section steel beams with holes drilled in them. Bolt them together, and you can build just about anything you want. It's fairly cheap, and works very well for racking PCs or just about anything else.

    Various shelving offerings are listed on Dexion's shelving page, at http://www.dexion.co.uk/shelving/intro.html .
