As i mentioned in a previous entry, I was having a bit of a hard time deciding how to secure my rack so it was accessible but also not always in the way. So I got some heavy duty bottom mount drawer slides and screwed two 2x4 runners to one side. I then anchored the slides/2x4 assembly to the floor. Moved the rack to sit atop the 2x4 and secured it. Now I get a sliding rack for a fraction of the cost. Couple things though. One, the sliding motion isn't all that smooth. I need to pull/push it from a low center of gravity to get it semi-smooth. Also, the slides and 2x4 add about 4" to the rack height, so that could be a problem if you are space limited. All and all I'm pretty happy with the solution...now if I could just get my Nuvo Music Port to work as well.
