Here's a new rack I just made. I used to use melamine, but it was wayyyy to heavy to move by yourself. I wanted something lighter, but being a poor grad student, I couldn't fork over $400 for a 41qt rack that only had 4 tubs. So I decided to try out expanded pvc for myself. My first design was a disaster, but luckily all the pieces were salvagable so this was a second try and it worked (I think) pretty darn well. Holds 7 of the sterilite 41qt tubs; plenty of room for bps. I made a write up for any other DIY folks; it's a pdf so you can just print and built.
Total cost, uncluding heat, tubs, and all materials was about $550 to build two like this and another that holds the 28/12qt tubs. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions either via PM or at info@blueappleherps.
Instructions are here. Sorry, sort of a big file (20 mb)
