Audio/Video Rack

Forget buying a rack when you can build a superb one on the cheap. I built a modified TNT Flexi-Table that holds over 300lbs of equipment and only cost about $120. Lots of mass, vibration control, and you pick the finish...who can ask for more. Very simple design...post again if you are interested and I will go into more detail. Good luck.

The Flexy Table is an easy to build rack that can be found at www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html It is similar in build to the Michael Green racks. The directions on the TNT-Audio site are in metric so here are the sustitutions I made. Get 3' sections of 3/4" threaded steel rod from Home Depot or hardware store. These are about $7 a piece. Get matching nuts and washers. I could not find the neoprene washers that they suggest. Use 3/4" MDF as the shelving. They can cut it at the store for free. I treated the undersides of the shelves with car undercoating spray for additional dampening. Paint the shelves however you want. 1 quart of paint should do. For just audio equipment, I would suggest their design but for an A/V rack I would use 6 threaded rods and a double thick piece on top for the TV. Mine is sturdy enough to hold a 240lb TV as well as the rest of my equipment. Good luck and and feel free to ask for any more details.
