My racks -- a good friend was the owner of a plastics manufacturing plant (made counters, displays, etc.) and using 4x8 sheets of 1 inch black acrylic & a CNC machine, he first made himself some shelving. He had a machinist friend mill the supports from billet aluminium and drill/thread each.

Stuff is damn tough -- I've stood on the 2d level during TV install. Pretty too but as Dan would point out a dust magnet (well maybe not a magnet -- I can't find a rag & don't prep for a room inspections).

I like it --. Unfortunately my friend got sick and sold his plastics factory. Fortunately, obtained a couple shelves for the dCS gear from a client of his. Have plenty of supports in various sizes to accommodate a rearrangement if needed.
