Subject: Re: Who's using 19"-Rack for the Modules?

From: "ithaib" <ithaib@...>

www.nice-racks.com is a great option. He can build a custom rack for you. He built me a
custom double 19" rack. Each section 10U high, the rack itself 9" deep (which is more than
enough for Motm stuff and for some 19" effect processor rack gear).
That's 40U of modules, more than you need maybe. But it's compact and relatively cheap
compared to other options you have. (cost me $260 shipping included), and has a great
wood finish. It is pretty heavy though so it's not for gigging or moving around.
Mine has rack rails on both front and rear. That way I can easily close the back with blank
19" panels.

I can send you a picture if you like.

Ithai.
