A while ago, I asked for advice about racking my gear. I decided on a minimalist approach. The amplifiers and processor are just stacked on a dolly. I have screwed thru the rack ears to two oak boards, to keep them all lined up. Yes, I drilled, tapped and machine screwed into oak and the threads held nicely. The rack was painted flat black to match. Advantages: low cost, minimal size, excellent ventilation, easy access (it rolls right out away from the wall). I made sure to get large, heavy duty rollers; the front rollers swivel, back are fixed. Cable overlength so it can be pulled out from the wall. I welcome your suggestions and comments. Sincerely /b    |

If you had told me about this before seeing, I wouldn’t have thought it would work well, nor look good. But well done! Great inexpensive solution!

While fussing around trying to decide what to do; I borrowed a shipping dolly from work to temporarily setup on. It worked out so well, that I made a dolly to fit, and painted it black. Adding the two oak boards to keep them lined up, finished it. /b |

After that the gear can be laid out in any way that suits you. |
