I got mine at guitar center as its close to me, but you can order them on line as well. I think your 800RB is four rack spaces high, but you'll want to check.
Ah - I see you are looking to rack a 400RB, it was the OP who had to rack an 800RB.
OK then, two spaces.
Nice!
If I remember correctly MCM doesn't make a big deal over shipping to the Island or Alaska.
800RB is three space, 400RB is two space.
Thanks, I just measured my 400, it needs a 2U size, after looking at the link for mcm I might just buy something else(I think its a rack shelf, but not an enclosed one I that makes sense??!!) and just drill holes to match the bottom(the side panels once had a handle but no other holes on the sides) as it might be cheaper and easier than buying a hacksaw/dremel, but thanks though!!
Yeah, except speakers LOL, they said it was "hazardous material"
My empty hartke 4x10 is now a CD shelf....

It is so weird they started that, imagine the billions of speakers shipped before now. I don't know how we survived?
If some of you guys aren't handy or don't have tools, bring your amp and rack to a local metalworking/welding shop and show them what you want to do.
A "rack ear" is just a piece of bent plate metal with holes drilled in the right spots. Piece of cake for those guys and they'd probably think it was a cool job.
They're not really "rackears" until you bolt them to the amp. Until then they're just pieces of bent metal with a fancy name they can upcharge for.

I am handy, but lack some tools..i do know a body shop that did some brackets for me, but it'd probably actually be cheaper to just buy a rack shelf(they charged me a case of beer for that LOL) for $13.00, same price through MCM electronics
