I have a very similar rack in my bedroom system that i built, but it is of a MUCH lower mass design ( on purpose ). The only reason that i went this route is that all of the components that i'm using in this system are physically small ( Quad ) and a full sized commercially built rack did nothing but take up extra space.
With that in mind, don't expect a rack of this type to perform like a rack that doesn't use the shelves as part of the support structure. If you are set on a threaded rod rack for reasons of adjustability, look for something that uses low mass shelves while still retaining good rigidity.
As a side note, if you've never put together a threaded rod rack, it AIN'T fun. Especially if you have a LOT of shelves : ( Sean
