Of course, you might as well buy pipe and strong wood
from home depot
drill the appropriate holes, and insert bolts in strategic locations.
That gorilla rack will probably cost more.
You'd be hard pressed to beat the price and still have it look good.
I forget if they were $79 or $89, I got some dirty looks by climbing
on on that was at floor level to see how stiff they were. They are.

Weren't those the cars thart could float?

No but the same brand, as well as others. I forget the brand that was a
convertible out in the 50's and 60's but Volkswagen (Wolfsburg plant)
made a "schwimwagen" (spelled something like that) that could float and
run through the water. The beetle could stay afloat a little longer than
most cars due to the body style but the ducts for heat would let the
water through from the exhaust manifold heat exchangers anyway.
And now back to the topic at hand....

Okay at the risk of serious off topic... the schwimwagon was built for service
in World War Two by VW. It had snorkels on the exhaust and on the air intake
for both the carb and the fan (air cooled engine) and a propeller shaft
off the main pully and through the bumper.

Exxxactly! I guess now we can all get back to computer topics, like how to install
a terminal in a VW beetle or something <G>

Mmmm, gotta take those cars to a place that can crush them to size,
otherwise they won't fit. On the other hand, I can't think of any
batch of computers that can be put on such a shelf that would weigh
that much -- hell, it's hard to reach that density with 1

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Heck, at the rated 1500 lbs/shelf, each $80 unit can support 5 Volkswagons...
