Inexpensive Equipment Rack

Hey guys,
I've been kind of looking for a new / better rack for my Cisco lab and servers. Right now I have this guy from amazon:
Amazon.com: OnStage RS7030 Rack Stand: Musical Instruments

It works but it feels a bit flimsy and I really don't like how it leans back... Does anybody happen to know of some reasonably priced racks (under $100)?

If you are looking in the $100 range, I highly recommend Skeletek. The 12 U C series rack is $99. skeletek.

1+ fot Skeletek! They are awesome. And for just over $100, I'd consider that very inexpensive.

+1 on Skeletek. Had a pleasure of going to their shop in Chicago when I was still living in IL. Gave me a good deal instead of buying it online.

I as well can back Skeletek. Awesome racks!

same here. It s super study and doubles as a table right next to your desk.
I have 6 devices fixed in firmly with two aluminum strips to secure them in properly. I also used self tapping screws to hold them on tight.

this is the guide I followed. Im very proud of my results. 3 heavy routers and switches that wont budge at all.

I bought an actual 8-space case on eBay for $99. I was afraid it would be garbage, but it has worked really well.

Look for "8 space 16" deep rack case" on ebay.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I've heard about skeletek before, I think I'll have to take a look at them again.
