tormorten Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 So, I'm thinking about building a rackcase for my studio. Anyone done this before? Or at least have som plans, guides or pictures of how it's done? I have no clue what so ever, and would really appreciate any help I can get. - Tor Morten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnie Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Do you mean like a 19 inch rack? From personal experience, your much better off buying one. I built myself one ages ago (I found plans on Google) and I found that it really wasn't worth it. For the amount of time and energy (as well as money) I spent building the thing, I would have been better off buying one off eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tormorten Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was thinking 4-5 unit rack case. It will be a studio rack placed on top of a desk. I'll check the prices on eBay first ;p But on the other side. It's much more easier to customize a rack if you build it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 i have a built in rack in my desk. It helps sit the mixer up out of the desk and allows cooling. I can post some pics tomorrow.

carlwelden Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Picking up rack rails and screws ain't a bad idea. How'd it turn out? (I ask half a year later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Years ago I built a couple of wooden rack cases for traveling on the road. I was working full time as a musician. They worked, but they weren't pretty. I had a big Yamaha amp in one with a fan mounted at the back, plenty of holes drilled through the body of the case and a couple of receptacles mounted inside for AC distribution to the other gear. I've also heard that some people have bought coolers and mounted 19 inch units in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
