You might be able to get some out of some scrapped hi tech equipment at a salvage yard or some other place where things that are rack mounted get chucked.

Good luck,

Thanks for the lead. Found lots of useful info under the i-beam terminology. Was searching using drawer slides and everything else I could think of. I have some requests for quotes out now to some that I found via the links.

Still may end up building it myself since they will probably be high priced as well, but at least there's a lot more detail in these pictures and I should be able to replicate some of their efforts.

Again, thanks for the info.
