I have some pro-audio and pro-video supplies, and they include
1U, 2U and 4U rack mount "trays" or shelves.  They are designed
to allow to rack mount consumer equipment that have no "rack
ears" of their own.  These trays are also used to mount smaller
items such as wireless mic receivers and such that are by
themselves too small to be rack mounted.  Two consumer 4-port
Linksys routers work great side-by-side on a 1U tray.

Contact me off-list if you would like one of mine.  You can also
find them at places like Creative Acoustics, Sam Ash, and Guitar
Center stores.  Creative Acoustics has a good shop for creating
custom racks as well.
