Why are the little things expensive :(

[i_got_a_mohawk]

So im sitting here, working out the prices of bits of gear for a rack im putting together, as the preamp im using 3 presonus units, the units are only £59, £59 and £75, and i go about looking for the rack adapter which connects them and basically makes it take up 1U.

I look around the net . . . in the US its $40, over here its £50, which is alot for a couple metal brackets

Maybe i'll be sticking to a rack shelf them /rant

Rack shelfs and Velcro-(to hold units in place) work fine.

To save even more, I've made my own rack shelfs by cutting down an old (non-working) 1-space rack unit.

Note: using a rack shelf sometimes ends up taking up a little more than 1-space in your rack.
