Modular Racks - good and bad

[Hairy Harry]

I like:

SKB shallow racks - 3 and 5 space. The new ones are quite an improvement 
with better latches on the back doors...
just the thing for small rack synths

SKB full size racks - again the new ones are better, with front AND
rear rack rails...

SKB Pop-up... OK. I have one with a purpose-built computer for sequencing in 
it. I think the shallow depth is a real problem, but
you can fit a 5" deep unit in... with no cable space behind. Again
I have the old one with the screw locks... the new latches are much
better

I haven't tried the "roto racks"... I'd go with the standard cases.

I replaced all my racks with this line, they stack nice and are light,
and waterproof / resistant.
