I posted about this over at my blog (link), and I figured I’d post about it here.
I’m currently in the process of designing a custom equipment rack for all the stuff I have to monitor for the show. Right now, I currently have a microwave cart that I hacked down to size to make it fit, and I’m really looking forward to replacing it.
Right now, the way the equipment is mounted is less-than-ideal for monitoring and adjustment, and it will only get worse.
We’re currently using 5 rack spaces, and I have plans to have it up to between nine and eleven full spaces within the next six months. We’re going to outgrow our rack, and I need to start thinking about replacing it now so I don’t have to rush a replacement later.
So, here is an image of what I have come up with so far, using Google Sketchup. Check it out!

It will hold have an adjustable mixer tray on top, a 10-space slant rack in the middle, and a 4-space vertical rack on the bottom. I’ll put it on wheels so I can roll it out of the way when not in use. It’s going to be great!
