I only just got your reply. I can't fit my Yamaha powere amp into the SKB so yes, it would be too shallow. It's designed for FX and preamps an dthe like really.
[quote name='Finbar' post='235188' date='Jul 8 2008, 07:18 PM']Okay, so I recently put together my rack - it has a lovely Ampeg/QSC setup in it, and I'm happy as pie with it. I bought a 4u rack case from someone on here, thinking it would give me room to grow (the pre/poweramp only takes up 3u). But really... why do I need to grow? I don't need any fancy rack gadgets - all my tuners, compressors and effects are in pedal form, and if I ever change pre/power amp in this setup, I'd be looking to downsize to a 1u power amp, if anything. True to form, I bought something basically just to fill in the extra space!
So yeah, I bought a Samson PB11 Powerbrite Power Conditioner off Dan_Nailed on this forum about 3 weeks ago. To be honest, I haven't even plugged it in or even racked it! It is a bit overkill having 10 IEC sockets and a light when I only have two things in my rack tbh. Original sale thread with details and pictures can be found here:

This will give you a far better idea of it than I could, as I haven't even used it. It was GAS for a light basically!
£50 posted? Justabout gets back what I paid for it, and then I can buy some new pedals instead! Chuck in the leads Dan gave me as well.
And as already mentioned, I have a 4u Boschma rack case. No pictures at the moment, but looks like this...
To stop me hulking round a case that I don't need, and to reduce the future buying of rack gadgets (it is always so tempting to fill up the space!), I'm looking to do a straight swap for any other 3u rack case. Not looking for a flightcase, or a rack bag, just an ABS plastic one. Gator/Boschma etc. Alternatively, I'll sell for what I paid for it - £70.
So if there's anyone out there with a large-ish rack which needs powering/illuminating or has a 2/3u rack that needs enlarging to fit more stuff into, then drop me a line!
