that's a haul, i'm in eastern PA, so if you find one closer i'll help you pick
it up. :)

racks aren't that popular with the eBay crowd i'm assuming.

i'm just guessing, since i don't know how much this thing weighs, but judging
from what i know about 19" cabinets, a rough estimate of around $150-$300 from
someone like Yellow (www.yellowfreight.com) give a call, have weight and 
dimentions and they should be able to give you a quote over the phone.

of _course_ it matters!
