ooh, is that an S3000 in the rack on the far right?
I wondered if those racks would be strong enough to hold my CD3000XL, as I usually only see very shallow rackmount units in them, like the rest of yours ... does it work ok for a big ol' S-series?

I got that Quiklok rack back in 03...originaly I thought it was quite flimsy when being assembled but once it's all up and with a few bits of gear in there it's all cool.
I used to have a S-2800 in there many moon's ago, Novation drum station and that Micro Q
The Akai there is a 3200XL, it holds it nicely and doesn't shake about, just don't stick it on the bottom cos the damn thing is too damn deep lol
It's a nice cheap rack and I like that it's angled.

Here is a pic from last year

cool, thanks, I might get one. I don't mind that I won't be able to put it at the bottom, and the angle is nice. I've currently got my 3000 in this custom cabinet, but as it's right at the bottom I still get a bad neck trying to use it, and it's too damn deep to fit anyway!

Ouch man! that is low, I feel for you...I worked like that for a long time with my rack pieces, neck and back ache indeed

I'm going to re-do the room in a few weeks after my bro leaves and should have more space to play with..
I would love a desktop rack similar to what some one I know had..

yeah, that's nice.

another option to save my neck is that I'm looking at a patch bay, I could but that right on the bottom and put the 3000 on top, which would raise it up a couple of inches ... still not great though!

but I got the cabinet made for the 3000, if I stop using it my girlfriend might ask wtf I bought it for!
the electribes (two in the pic and another one at the back of the top shelf) take up all the shelf room now!

Cheers, that is a 32.8 It belongs Mark Andrews who occasionally posts on this forum. He sold the Mackie and is now mainly working with Logic but at the same time trying to get a SP-1200

Looks like Jackson Pollock got ahold of your Mp... Interesting. It's actually cool to see the MV next to an Mp. That MV looks like a Cadilac. I've never had the chance to use one, but I really like Roland and wish they made a smaller version in the Mv line. You can actually use Roland stuff right out of the box. Shitt works, and works well, for years.
