Ive been buying the diy psu kit 1 which come with bus boards and mounting rails. I then buy a schroff 3u 19 inch sub rack (i think 24563-191) for about £30 and replace the rails. Using some chip board i give it a back surface for mounting the bus boards. My woodworking skills arent great, so this has work out best for me.

I also have the rails for building a suitcase synth, using an old record flight case. One of those projects sitting in the corner that I'll get to eventually.
