Members baimun Posted July 7, 2005 Members Share Posted July 7, 2005 To make things easier for some upcoming gigs, I took a full sized video game cabinet that I had, cut the top off, cut some of the bottom off, and modified it to hold my audio gear. There's an inner rack that supports all of the gear on metal rack rail, a shelf to support and anchor the amp, as well as allowing ventilation around the equipment. The top area holding the mixer is braced with wood and metal. The area where the videogame controls were has been replaced with an inset control panel for the dual CD player (with Karaoke video output for those gigs too.) I also used a bracket to anchor the illuminated power extension cord so if anyone trips over that, it won't rip the cord out of the back of the rack. There's a single pull out drawer between the amp and the CD player. I'm planning on getting some Mackie 1530 speakers to go with the powered monitors I use.... so eventually the Mackie amp will come out and more effects will go in there (the rest of my outboard gear is in a stand alone rack with my Mesa Boogie.)

Members baimun Posted July 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2005 The other joke would be a 38 DD rack... ... 38" tall with Digital Delay... >rimshot. Someone else came up with that one... but I thought it was pretty clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Grinder Posted July 7, 2005 Members Share Posted July 7, 2005 Nice use of the old arcade cabinet, that looks like a great home-made rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonik Posted July 11, 2005 Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 But if it would have still had a fucntional pac-man (or whatever) it would be way cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
