Act now! She is a nice lady. No assembly required, except for the casters if you want them.

I am very pleased with this unit they air shipped it from Utah and it got here the very next day. It comes in one piece very durable. I would recommend this to anyone who does not have the time to build one themselves or just values their time sometimes more than their $$$$.
Talk to shirley and tell her Krumb sent yah!

I have the Bims stand and use it for storing my backup drive. I went with the casters so it's really easy to roll around the garage! You can build something for less, but this looks nicer, kind of a museum display stand!!!! Steve

These were originally set up for alpha's many years ago. Converted for TRS use by simply extending the cross bar height.
Skegs sit between a pair of 2x12's up on edge. 2x12's tie the base box together. 3" galvanized drywall screws hold it all together - 5 screws per joint.
Key features: sits on a pallet to fork on/off truck. Eye bolt on cross bar allows lifting with crane if fork lift not avail. Bolting the drives to the cross bar serves to stabilize while in transit, or just moving them around the shop.
20 bucks in lumber and hardware, and they've been in service for 20 years.

Drive Stands
Guess that making them out of wood might be alright. I,went with the Bims and have to say that they work well and look great. I didnt order the casters but they came with them anyway, Im glad !just roll them over against the wall and they are out of the way.When I feel like polishing the lowers they are right way I can get to them, with out worring about them falling over.. Money well spent!!

This is my "good" one. When my ex-wife moved out, most of my furniture went too, so I built a coffee table from 3/4 of a sheet of plywood I had. It has since been used as a portable work bench and Saturday I modified it to hold my drives. Very cheap, very stable.
