Places to buy audio racks?

[JJ2013]

Hi y'all,

I've been googling and yahoo'ing around for ideas and I read somewhere that a furniture store stocked a nice looking wooden case/cabinet that could be retrofitted with 19 inch rails. Some of these costs oodles of cash though!

I could probably do it myself, but I am looking to buy a 19 inch case for an
audio rack (just a couple of rails and a framework that holds it all together). Do you have any suggestions for finding just a frame that would come with 19 inch rails on the front? I will have 5 pieces of equipment in the case (perhaps 6, making it a 6U rack), but don't want to spend a lot of money.

Any suggestions on where I could find one of these? I know companies out there offer really nice furniture looking pieces with front and back rails pre-installed and I've been looking at one. However, I don't really need all of the parts and would leave the "top" panel off most likely any way for better air circulation through the audio equipment. It's just that I would be still paying for the "top" panel even if I don't use.

Something like what is shown above, but I don't like the angle and the size. Also, I wouldn't want to spend money of shipping from the UK to Texas.....

Sure will appreciate additional thoughts.

OK, sorry my bad, found one with extension .nl (for The Netherlands) and assumed that the .com was USA located.
