As a creature of habit, I've been using the same rack, full of equipment,
for the past 16 years! My crowds and I love my sound, so that can't change (actually, I am a little concerned about the sound of the KMA
compressed files, but we'll see)...anyways....maybe I'll just have to check out the computer rack mount that you mentioned....do you know where
they sell those...maybe Guitar Center? It's a laptop, so how would I set
up the laptop in the rack mount with all of the wiring and external hard drive?
I have another question....do you know of any computer programs that
work for just DJ music? Right now I use a separate box with my drawers
and controller in it and I set it on top of my rack, but everything is getting
so bulky! Of course, I only use the the DJ unit when I do private parties.
Thank you!!!!

i used to carry all my gears in a dj coffin, not including my laptop and hard drives, which is so heavy, i bought 2 road cases 14x23 ,( one for ea. of my laptops ) but i had to do some customizing, i have all my hard drives ( 3 hhd per case ) inside the case, i then secured a thin right angle brace on 4 corners, cut a piece of plywood covered it with black carpet cut to size, cut a hole on the plywood ( for my hdd and power source cables ). a little bit of work but its worth it, takes me 10min. to set up, its light 15 lbs. compared to 80lbs. and looks clean, dont have all that cables hanging all over the place..and yes guitar center carries them..and also i use pcdj, or itunes if i have to do a private parties
