Getting a nice rack?
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 8:16 am
(Not the kind that fills out a bra.)
Does anyone know where I can get either bare rack rails (at least 24U - the longest Guitar Center et al carries seems to be 18U) or an UNENCLOSED tabletop rack (i.e. just the rails and enough to make them stand up) that's at least 10U?
I'm trying to pre-design my new recording space a bit (and space is limited) and one of my ideas is to rackmount that mixer from the Musiciansfiend thread in such a way that I can actually still plug stuff in, without it taking a huge amount of footprint.
If I can get rails which are long enough, then I could mount the mixer a few feet up and then lean it against the wall (like stilts), and then I'd have plenty of space underneath to keep my computer and some other stuff.
Another alternative is <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... 6553">this desk</a> (which also solves the problem of where to keep my keyboard!) though I don't know if the recording space is wide enough for that. Also then I'd need to figure out where to put my scanner, but with the space freed up by the built-in keyboard stand that becomes less of a concern.
