Cheap rack for your crunching and folding rigs...pictures Thursday, February 16, 2012 12:41 PM (permalink)
I now have at least six computers here.  I cannot expand any more horizontally on a desk.  I need a rack stand or something that I can mount rigs in shelves on top of each other.  I don't want to spend a fortune.  What do you guys recommend?  I already have open cases and the like, I just need a place to stack.
 
Thank you in advance:)
 
Nerd you ROCK brother.  TY again!!!
 
This is just the beginning.  These lack tables are incredible!

        Awesome guys.  TY!
         
        Rj, you are one talented man!   Great work!
         
        Nerd, thank you so very much for the link.  I think I will pick up some of those.  They are only 8 bucks a piece!  (I just called Ikea)  If I had a lot of time right now, I could work on one myself but don't have it lately.

          Just got back from Ikea.  They had those lack tables.  Purchased 3, total was like 32 bucks with tax.  I will take a picture when I put them up.  Thanks again!

            Okay, just put my little 870/P55 build in here to see how much room I would have.  I will probably get another 3 of these.  They are a cinch to build and all I needed was a couple of brackets to secure them together.  I have a Cyberpower surge/strip coming in Saturday that I will mount.  Stands a bit more than 53 inches.  More pictures to come:
             
            You have about 15.5 inches tall by 17 inches wide to fit things in there.

              I also tried one of those "my open pc" cases for the Q6600 cruncher:

                Okay, this thing rocks. Just got the surge/strip in today.  Fits like a GLOVE inside:

                    Again a HUGE thanks to NerdGZ.  These things are sturdy, inexpensive and look GREAT.  5 dollars in some wood screws and some brackets, 30 bucks for a nice power strip/surge and you have yourself a great rack for a couple machines.

                        Just picked up the short metal plates/screws at local hardware store.  Purchased the Cyperpower strip at Amazon for 38 bucks:)
