[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 56464, member: 441"] Re: Double wide 19" racks Hallo Jens, hvordan går det!:) I have exactly one double wide rack in inventory. It's the stage rack for my Yamaha PM1D. Since that mixer system uses a hopeless SCSI connector type to connect the DSP "brain" to the input and output modules, it's a big advantage to have everything pre-connected in one rack. Since my system needs 30 rack spaces it was more practical to have one double wide rack than one monster tall rack! Apart from that I'm not a big fan of those racks. The way I built it I bought some Adam Hall "frames" that are typically used as a kit together with normal rack mount "ladders" in each corner. The Adam Hall "frames" make up the top and bottom of the rack and you bolt the pieces together in such a way that you get the depth you need (within the limits of the size of the brackets), but the width is alway 19", of course. Then you cut the normal square-hole rack "ladders" to the lenght you want and bolt one in each corner. When it is assembled it looks like one of those typical computer server racks. I built two 15 unit rack frames like this and just bolted them together side-by-side. You can either leave the frame open or close off the top, back and sides with whatever panel you may choose. I then ordered a case made like those you house guitar/bass combos in, only much bigger. This is the most compact way I could think of to safely move 30 units of gear in one piece. But it's quite heavy! 150 Kg perhaps ?? [/QUOTE]
