I was looking for a small, inexpensive audio rack for my system at work. The system is comprised of:

Proton 930 Receiver

Micromega Leader CD player

NHT SuperOne speakers

Goertz M1 1 Meter Micropurl interconnect

QED Silver Anniversary flat silver speaker cables

Couldn't find anything that met my criteria for stability, relative size required for a system that sits on my desk, appearence, and cost. This DIY project took bits and pieces of a weekend. The rack itself is 19" wide by 14" deep by 19" high. Cost was around $100:

Three butcher block shelves from Ikea @ $20 each

(2) six foot 5/8" #11 threaded rods at $5 each. Cut in half to make a 18" high rack.

24 5/8" nuts @ .30 each

20 5/8" washers @ .20 each

Three "tip toes "

One can of Tremclad Black HighGloss Spray paint @ $3

One can of oil-based pimer @ $7

One Can of Varathane #95 High Gloss paint ($9)
