PC Shelving?

[ntsf]

Well, I've decided it's time to organize my 10+ pc's in some way. Since they're all tower cases (mostly mid-towers) I think I need some sort of shelving. I want something that:
1. is as light as possible
2. won't tip over
3. wheels?
4. can handle the weight of the pc's

I've heard of using bakery rack type shelving... I don't want to break the bank on this project... Any suggestions?

BTW, if you read this, but don't have a suggestion, pls bump. Thanks!!

You can get the wire rack bakery type shelving pretty darn cheap at Sam's... They have some with wheels and some without. You can get the without kind at Target which has them on sale every other week or so.

They can hold a crapload of weight but aren't the prettiest things to look at...

Get a welder and make a desk out of them.

just get some MDF or particle board and make a cubby system with vents and fans.

That would be nice, but I need something that can be moved. 🙂

ok, well it seems the shelves on that unit are too close together...

Any other tips?

Steel shelves from Sears? The more expensive ones have much higher weight limits and some adjustable shelves -- you probably can only use every other shelf for the towers but likely your best bet under $100.

Other manufacturers make similar shelving that is adjustable. I know Sam's/Cosctco sells it. I've used it for cheap racks for some clients who don't want to drop the $$$ on real racks and rack-mountable cases.

So the units at costco/sams are adjustable?
