Rack case recommendations?

I've purchased several case in a wide range of sizes from Calzone Cases in Connecticut.
I had them make one particular case to accomidate an Aguilar DB-750 Head in the bottom two slots, with a Korg DTR-2000 in the top slot for a total of three.
I'll take a picture sometime this week and post it for you.

There is a sale agent at Calzone named Linda Tilson that REALLY knows her business and will guide you through exact sizes and hardware that makes the most sense for every application you may have.
Good Luck,
Mark

I'm sure Calzone does a good job, but your info is a little off. The Aguilar DB750 is a 3 space head. If you're allowing for an additional space for a tuner, the rack would need to be a total of 4 spaces.

Although my needs are of the weekend warrior type, I've been enjoying the easy mobility of a 4U Gator rolling rack case. The hardware is a but on the flimsy side, and it's not built for heavy-duty touring, but the wheels and handle make it a breeze for load-in/load-out at local gigs.

Thanks everyone for your insight! If anyone else has any more, I'll gladly consider it in my future purchase! For now, I think I'll check my custom options and also check out some of the above-mentioned companies.

Thanks again!

PROBLEM SOLVED!:D

I cut two, approximately 4"x5" holes on either side of the rack in the flat areas, one in front of the exhaust vent (on the left side as you face it) and one on the opposite side to generally add to the make-up air.

Staying in the flat area does not ruin the structure and radiusing corners stop them from tearing. Now, a nice flow of warn air exits easily and the plastic doesn't heat up.

If you have this SKB rack and an SVT-4Pro, I highly recommend you make this easy mod. All it takes is a drill, saber-saw and dremel toll to round off the edges. Took about an hour to cut them in.:)

Just found my old Anvil ATA approved 4 space rack case.
I bought it used from a friend who bought it used and it's seen plenty of road work.
Extremely well made and looks alot like the Calzone.
Doesn't look like the normal internet music dealers carry them.
