Title: I need to build a rack for my V3
Post by: lynchie on February 19, 2004, 05:39:50 PM: I have seen some people mention racks they bought at Target. Are these dish racks?? I have looked a couple times but haven't seen anything that resembled what I'd need.

I was also thinking about making a case out of wood. Anyone do this? I'm running 140's so I need enough room for the KM100 bodies .

I see people making cables on here, anyone making racks/cases for V3's??

Thanks for the help.

Ooooo...that reminds me, I want to do something similar with my CMC6 bodies!

i copied rabhan's design and it works great... it makes setup / teardown a breeze.
