I prefer Gorilla racks. I've bought/installed some of the plastic units
out there, and find two severe problems:

   1) most have shelves that are NOT simple flat surfaces. Instead,
they're often some kind of exposed honeycomb (or other grid).
This has two drawbacks: (a) if you put small parts on the shelf,
they can drop through; (b) you can't slide units that have legs or
other protuberances.

   2) the "heavy duty" plastic shelfs that I've used (Rubbermaid?)
start to bow under the weight of some computers
