Server Rack/Cabinet Recomendations

[robistech]

What are your thoughts on using a Server Rack/Cabinet/Enclosure in your studio? I'm looking to pick up a few DBX 266 Compressors and I want to mount them in some kind of rack enclosure. Unfortunately, the prices are ridiculously high for something that seems so simple! I've been doing some looking, and for a half way decent beginner rack, I found this one for $100.

Any recommendations?

yes, they are expensive. I built mine out of wood, and just bought the rails to go on front. Works great.

Here is a link to some inexpensive rails if you are handy enough to make your own box:

12 space rails are in the mid to upper $20s

I actually have a Odyssey CRS12. I recently switched to something with a little more room. This is what I use Gator Cases Studio Rack Cabinet. It has more room and isn't at an angle.

I agree with Amnon, It's alot cheaper to buy the rails and wood then buy a pre-built.

Say Andrew, does your CRS12 have mounting provisions to add wheels? I'm debating between the eight rack unit and the 12. Frankly, the CRS08 is likely more than I'll ever need although I do like to have the option for ventilation panels between certain components.

Hey All,

I found this in my research for something to house my planned gear...If you don't want to spend a lot and get something that looks pretty darn good....
