EMT is cheap (maybe $3 per stick...I got mine a bit cheaper due to where I work) and you can get it almost anywhere. (Home depot, lowes, electrical supply shop)

sorry for the newbie questions, thanks riper1

I felt like the drip rails where a stronger option. And I know it was already said but "electrical metalic tubing"

I get the feeling there is another sparky here...

I just built an EMT rack of my own after seeing this build. Pretty dang easy. No welds, just 1" EMT+machine screws and I can walk all over it without any doubt it'll hold. I'll post pics tonight.

BTW Lowes has 1" EMT for $7.45/10ft. I dumpster dove at work and swiped 130ft for $0!

Oh yeah, go buy an EMT bender from Lowes for $75. Make your 4 bends for the rack, and take the bender back. Just give em the receipt and tell them you didn't need it. Done.
