For those interested, IKEA is/has dropped the OMAR line of wire
shelving - odd bits may be available at your local store, but there
will be no more... All mine had were some very narrow (14") shelves, a
few deeper (18") shelves, and only 34" high posts :^(

BUT - Home Depot now carries a similar shelving system (WireTech,
IIRC), anyway, $64.95 for a 5 shelf, 36" wide, 18" deep, 78" high shelf
unit in black (chrome availble at similar price) :^)

I decided against the lower-cost plastic shelves like Amy described, as
the distance between the shelves was not adjustable, and I may wind up
stuffing 17" monitors and SS10/20 systems in my final "Data Center"...
