im on it .. :) give me like mabe 15 mins to get a rough idea and like mabe another 10 mins to draw it up .. im afraid its going to be done on paint as my photoshop has been deleated for some unknown reason lol
 
o and i forgot to say 18mm chipboard (as you can get in a range of coloures .. sheats ar like either 2foot by 8foot, 3foot by 8foot and 4foot by 8 foot for a reasonible 15dollers a sheet ) or if plywood is cheeper and you dont mind the look you could go with that
 
I would suggest to use heat tape instead of zoomed heat cable on a unit like that. The heat cable is great for some applications, but I wouldn't really trust one to heat a large rack through back heat. Those plug in heat cables work better in smaller tubs where you can use them as belly heat.
It's really not too hard to wire heat tape, if you are already going to go through the expense of building a rack it's worth it.
