DIYer Racks Up Unique Storage System for Home
By Rachel Cericola
A little piece of Tom Guineau's home theater is often imitated, but never quite duplicated.

While some DIYers focus on the screen, the seating, and even the candy counter, Tom Guineau decided to add something truly unique to his room. He has a completely handcrafted equipment rack.

It doesn’t exactly have the same flash as other theater components, but it’s become quite popular since Tom started his home theater build in 2008.



When Tom began working on the room, he found that component racks could start at a few hundred dollars. “However, it was not unusual to then spend close to $2,000 or up once you start adding on the ‘accessories,’ such as metal shelves, trim kits, inserts and so on,” he says. “I have champagne tastes on a beer budget!”

Armed with that budget in hand (and pocket), Tom set about to build the rack himself. The end result is a 24U rack that’s 19 inches wide. “My solution attempts to emulate the professional look and features, but at far less cost,” he says. It also has the option to mix and match commercial rack accessories in the future.
