I am wanting to do three tower speakers so i would have to get rid of my tv stand which holds all of my components. I am looking for an inexpensive 3 or more shelf rack. The cheaper the better. I found one that i'm fond of for $200, but i'm hoping for something a little less if possible.

Thanks in advance.

The gear on my racks weigh in at 450 lbs. so I use racks that are extremely well built. Not to mention the WAF! I use BDI Icon racks and stands, but they are a little outside your stated budget. The flip side of this is: I have 15 grand worth of gear on each of my two racks and 10 grand worth of gear on my TV stand. I don't know the value of your equipment, but how cheap you go should depend on the net worth of your loss should they break and fall apart.

This is true. The heaviest of my few components would be right around 50lbs for my computer. And that might be a bit more than what it weighs. All i've got going on it is my HTPC, Denon 2809, and an xbox 360 (Possibly an amplifier down the road). I really just need a place to put my three little guys being that there is not way to hide them with my set up.

If you like minimalist, industrial design...

hey there utjackal. so my rec is too expensive? :p

FWIW, the rack I recommended is modular. Free shipping too.

If you ever need to add or change, but don't have modular, you can arguably make the case that spending a bit more now is saving a lot more later. Im always going to stick with modular if I can help it from here on forward.
