We build our own racks that you can see here:
http://redtailboa.net/forums/caging...items/32711-my-first-rack.html?highlight=rack
Each shelf holds 1 32 qt tub, or 2 16 qt tubs, we also do a 4" version that is the same width [24"] but not as deep to hold 8 qt tubs for hatchlings. The 4' versians take 1 4' x 8' piece of malomine, and I mark the wood and get it cut at home depot since I dont have the woodworking supplies. It takes us ~ 1/3 hour to assemble the rack from the cut pieces, and another 20 minutes to tape it up with heat tape. We use one long piece of heat tape and snake it back and forth over every shelf, so it is only wired once, and has consistent temperatures throughout the rack. I might have some paint images laying around somewhere of how the board should be cut, then the assembly is pretty self explanatory.
The only downfall is that melamine is heavy. other then that, for the price they pretty much cant be beat.
