[ale] Local source for 19" rack(s)?

[Jim Kinney]

Most rack rails are keyed to the brand of system. White box rails are often
rather generic in general but a poor fit for most generic cases.
Lowes ha(s/d) an angle stock for struts that was ~1.5" on both sides and has
holes and slots for easy bolting.
I've also seen a bolt run through the front and rear rail by 1"+ to provide
a shelf support for plywood.
It was the drop ceiling hangar wire that took the prize for lowest cost!
Across the front and rear rails and diagonally for middle support. Then
topped with cardboard.
I wish I had a picture of the wooden rack with adjustable shelves I saw used
by a sound pwrson. Good carpentry and excellent design. Front and rear doors
removed and became a work table.through bolts on all grips and heavy duty
locking castors and shipping case style corner protectors.
