ebay
Im flabbergasted this costs 130 bucks and this is by far the cheapest. Im seeing them in then 200-400 dollar range.
This is a basically angled aluminum with holes and should cost 50-60 bucks...the material is probably 20 bucks, if that.

I have some full-size racks and may be willing to give to you (need to check with guys at the office). Would you be interested?

That's not a bad price at all.

Yep. These won't do as they are 6 foot racks.

Are you looking to chuck full size servers in there?
I used to have one of those smaller networking racks stuffed full of servers that was only like $70. Some old pics from when I first moved in to my house
Now I just have a 20 core/40 thread space heater with 128gb of ram in a single regular case

I find server racks for free on Facebook market on the regular. They're kinda tough to get rid of because there isn't a huge market for them around here.

CarRamrod has never met an excuse he didn't like to go new tools.

i really would like a full stand up one. I dont have a bench anymore so if i get a bench top i would need to build a new bench or stand for it.

Sounds like a reason to buy more tools to build a bench. Wranglerstar on YouTube built a cool bench, although some people hate him, he did a good job with the build.

it is because he is such a nerdbird.

That's really not a bad retail price.
