I do no have pictures of my RACK.  It uses purple-blue tables and is a vertical, four shelf unit.  At he end of next week I will be moving to a townhome (GW) and I will make a second unit for a dedicated audio room.

Here's a picture from someone's RACK--pretty original, I'd say:

I have purhased four used Polycrystal Cones and plan to use them for the bottom legs.  Brass and aluminum are too soft to do a proper job.

I meant to ask if anyone has modified their flexi racks to accomadate the cables & etc. My wife pointed out after I showed her the pictures, how the all the cables/wires were just hanging out. I was kinda thinking about possibly drilling say 1 1/2 inche holes in the back center of each shelve to drop the plugs, and cables through. Or another alternative would be to tack on a thin piece of ? & drill the holes through that. Has anyone done anything like this, or do you prefer to leave the cables just exposed?

Well I hope she wasn't turned off by this pic in my gallery page! You can see that I have the cables in a neat and orderly fashion without any problems using the standard design! Hee hee!

A hole might not be a bad idea, although where was it that I read some real techie some such about a mere scratch in the skin of the wood destroying the vibration-sapping properties...oh whatever.  I would imagine you might be kicking yourself though, just another obstacle to deal with.  If you plug everything in and leave it for good then fishing wires through tubes and holes will be great, but if you tweak stuff a lot it will be a pain in the ass.  And besides, excessive pressure on the jacket of the cables will often cause voices to receed in the soundstage, not to mention the softening of cymbal transients!
