Well I looked around and I don't seem to be unable to find a catalog at this
time for the Rack Kings...  When and if I get another I will let you
know.....  The prices I quoted you are from Tech Data and it was the
cheapest one...  You can also look at Markertek http://www.markertek.com/
They are a little more video related and if you want the best IMHO you might
want to look at Hoffman http://www.hoffmanonline.com/ but you better hide
your wallet first...
