Mobile rack/cabinet

[mike2323]

Does anyone know of a good vendor for a mobile (on casters) 4-post cabinet (in the 12U to 14U range - something that'd go under or next to my desk). I'm getting to the point where I need to start rackmounting my lab hardware.

I've had my eye on one of these. for my rocknroll studio, might work for server hardware too.

I'm looking for something more like this:

$1,500 is way to much. I'm looking for more in the range of $500-$600.

Look for racks used by touring musicians, you can find good mobile ones for a few hundred. Bass guitarists especially use them, with pre/power amps, effects, compressors.. oh my!

I need something that will also house rackmounted servers. Musician cabinets are far too short for this.

mod it?

Build it then. Order rack rails and build the frame out of metal square tubing. Get someone to weld it if you cannot or don't want to. Then simply attatch plywood to the sides and add castors. Job done.

There are many rack plans on the internet.
