No matter how simple or complex, expensive or cheap, or big or small your AV setup is, you need a place to store the equipment. While AV racks are great, many people forgo them because of cost and complexity.
The OmniMount RE18 addresses those problems. For only $599 (MSRP), you get a pre-built 18U rack in a fully assembled enclosure with built-in fans and three 2U blanking panels and three 2U shelves included. The RE18 strikes a great balance among price, features, and convenience. It should definitely be on your list when shopping for an AV rack.
