This rack cost me $100 AUD. great way to do it , go to an Auction and grab
a Telco rack, the screws are different but it all fits eventually.

I bought a portable rack from Nave Communications in Baltimore (actually
two, but I ended up only having space for one, so someone else has the
second one now.) 20 bucks per cabinet, and it has a front door, lock and
key, and can be wall mounted or sit on its nice rubber feet. It can be
opened at teh back, too, but that's not so practical if you mount router in
it, since they go very far back. The mounting rail is right mid-way back,
which some may not like. I think it would ideal for carting around a small
lab of 5 routers or so, leaving lots of space between them. The spacing
for
rack mounting works out to be a bit tight for my 2600s, so they end up with
lots of space between them. Here's contact info for one of the salesmen at
Nave.
