IMHO the perfect gig rack for an MOTM system of that size would be a
shallow 10U anvil rack case, with rails in the rear too for PSU
mounting. preferably shockmounted, if you gig a lot.
IMHO the SKB case would be all right for gigging infrequently, if
you're very careful with it. and please don't pay the new price :-)
