    I just built this frag rack (10"h x 24"l x 12" w). It took me about 2 episodes of Top Gear to complete and cost me $19.54 for a 4'x2' sheet of egg crate and 20 zip ties. Then all you do is take a pair of pliers and break the shapes you need out of it.

    Here are some more build pics. Started off with a 4'x2' sheet. The rack is 16 squares high with each level being 4 squares higher than the last. Just simply count the squares and break out the shapes with a pair of pliers. The Cheez-It box served as a structural support will I zip tied the back brace on.
