partyadz Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi all Looking to install some equipment into a school. They aren't keen on anything that looks like a flight case as it looks too industrial, so needs to be something ideally in beech wood etc. Through a bit of googling the only thing I can find is this:http://www.metroplan.co.uk/furniture/projection-furniture/secure-mm90-multi-media-projector-cabinets.html But it's not ideal. It needs to have room for 12 channel soundcraft mixer ontop, then space for couple of amplifiers(4u), 1u of radio mics, 2u of cd player, 2u of graphic... Any hints on where else to try? Many thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilflet Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Have a word with SSE-Cane green (now part of sse group) used to have many of their outboard racks in a wooden finish that iv always thought would look good in my living room.Last time I was at SSE bradford they had several racks of older gear theyre getting rid of as they dont use many analogue desks anymore, non-premium type gates and comps, MD players etc.. but possibly more importantly they were all in what I affectionately call the living room racks. Im pretty sure they said the racks themselves we're for sale too.Not sure if they ever made anything that works for a desk on top (short of cutting the top off yourself) but it certainly gives more than enough U of rack space with proper rack strips and built solidly enough to take your amps.

p.k.roberts Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Something like this http://www.rackz.org/product-catalogue/credenza-wood-finish-racks/beech-wood-effect-19%E2%80%B3-console-rack-shell-kits/ or does it need locking doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 +1 for the Rackz kits, they are well constructed, sensibly priced, and it's a good company to deal with. They can supply lockable doors for their cabinets if required, and I get the impression that a little bit of customising wouldn't be out of the question.

J Pearce Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Some IT suppliers will do smart racks, either in wood or in a plain textured paint steel. Loses the flight case look and you can get a locking door too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 You'll also find that virtually all of the A/V suppliers who work in the corporate market will know of a local carpentry/shopfitting company who will make up bespoke enclosures. For example, I have heard good things about Colinton Furniture in Edinburgh. http://www.colintonfurniture.co.uk/businessgallery/AVconference/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbsy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 LUND HALSEY in Aylesbury do excellent stuff--both custom built or from a standard range. They're also some of the nicest people you could ever meet to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
