+1 for Starcase - very nice kit. Don't forget to checkout the many Pro Audio suppliers who kit out bands and roadshows with all sorts of interesting racks with wheels and cabinetry. Locally I've bought open racks from VFM Audio that are reasonably priced and come with wheels.

Very interesting!  Recently I had a somewhat similar experience.  My neighbor was throwing out some shelving that looked like what I need.  It was gray steel, all the vertical parts needed but no shelves.  I made shelves from plywood and ended up with a nice addition to my lab.  To make it
