Reddit reviews Seismic Audio - SAMRWT-16U - 16 Space Rack Case with 10 Space Slant Mixer Top and DJ Work Table - PA/DJ Pro Audio Road Case - 16U

I'm pretty impressed with the setup I've been able to put together. I have two amps but most of my speakers except for the subs are active. My problem is that my 1000W amp has a good DSP where my 2000W amp is pretty basic. So I keep both and use the 1000W in smaller venues and 2000W when I need a bit more volume (mostly outdoors).

So when I put together my rack, I've got both amps mounted. I use an XR18 for a mixer and that's at the bottom. I've got a WiFi that's been modded to work as a client/bridge so that my gear has it's own network, but it can still connect to the venue's WiFi for Internet. And I mounted a good USB hub and have installed a USB to DMX as well.

I put in a power conditioner and I bought the Neutrik PowerCon (http://www.neutrik.com/en/audio/powercon/powercon-20-a/) connectors so that my active speakers can get their power and signal plugged into nearly the same spot. I bought a 50' extension cord, cut off both ends, and put the PowerCon on one end and the standard C13 connector on the other end. Then I put it together with a 50' mic cable and 50' Speakon and put all three wires into a cable sleeve so it's kind of like one big wire or snake. Since I sometimes work with bands that need monitors, I also made a 25' version without the speakon cable (https://goo.gl/photos/WJMi8ipqJpFFkjok7)

So basically, I have the XR18 and all of it's input/outputs. It's also connected to the USB hub. Above the mixer is a panel where I custom installed the DMX output, speakon connectors that relay to the back of the amps, and all the PowerCon connectors.

The rack itself I picked up on Craigslist for dirt cheap. I was debating buying one where the door turns into a table that attaches to the side but the rack I got has the door sized so it can sit on top and turn into the perfect table size at the perfect height for the controller and laptop.

For some reason I don't have good pictures of the finished product. This photo was while I was still adding connectors to that panel, but you can see the power conditioner that runs to the blue PowerCon to receive power. And if I update later with more pictures, that blue connector now has 6 white connectors next to it for speaker outputs. This photo is one I took while I was in the process of mounting/organizing this thing.

Here's what it looks like on stage

If anyone's interested in seeing the rack from the front now that it's "finished", I'll try to send more pictures later.
