The doorway into the storage area will be to the right of the rack.  A PC and networking gear will be in the lower section of the rack.  Even though I’ll have walk in access to the back of the equiptment rack, it will be tight with all the crap stored in this basement.  I bought the Middle Atlantic SRS4 20 which is a 4 rail 19″ rack with a weight capacity of 250 pounds.  It slides out 19″ which will give me plenty of room for AV work.

I’m using 2×10 pine leftover from some other work for the base.  The inside will be painted flat black and the openings will be trimmed out in a dark reddish stained poplar.

Here it is with the bare SRS4 in place. I’m waited to do the top frame peice until after it was placed in there to be sure everything was tight.
