[Premium-Rx] 3U rack enclosures for Premium RXs

[k0dan]

I have been away from the reflector for several weeks so this topic may have
been covered, and my apologies if I repeat.

But if you are looking for nice racks (versus cabinets) for receivers there
are some nice open tabletop racks, relatively inexpensive, which will hold
three or four 5.25" receivers...these rack are available from music/studio
suppliers for around $30-$50 each (new). Sometimes if you have several
really deep receivers, you may need to tip up the stack with a piece of 2x4
but it works great.

I can post names/URL's of suppliers, plus a few pix of stuff I have done
here. Let me know
