How big a rack do you need
I have a couple going spare

One of them is a full aluminium jobbie with front and back removable covers

Search for '6u flightcase', or however many U you need the case to be... the sizes tend to be 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16... obviously there are some exceptions (from custom jobbies), but they're the main ones.

Hmm, only need 3 spaces at the mo, so 6 is fine.

Just some big dumb block to put stuff in for my studio.

Send me a PM of your stuff (or post it up, whatever you want), feline, I'm interested!

If you fancy making your own box, I'm 99% sure that you can just buy the rails.  Can't remember where I've seen them, but I'm sure that I have.

You'll probably get rails, locknuts & stuff for computery places too as servers tend to be mounted in 19" racks too.

I've got a couple of SKB cases.  Got mine from Thomann (even with the £ having tanked against the € the prices are still OK...)
