Use a lot of duct tape. jk
On a serious note, I want to make a thing similar to what they use for my mixamp. I don't think they sell them, but it seems pretty easy to make one using some wood or something.

You can not buy them as of the moment, Due to they make them out of Granite and would cost about a couple thousand dollars, or that is what the astro reps say.

Is that really what they say? That doesn't even make sense. Why would they make them out of granite? But if that is true, it's nuts that they gave a bunch of them to TLN for free.

I actually asked the reps at the event too, and they told me they would cost a few thousand dollars also.

I'm not sure how that much granite would cost $2000 unless they hand carved them... I have massive amount of granite in my kitchen if it cost that much for such a little amount it would have cost like $100, 000 just for the counter top.
I did contact them Astro about trying to by some and I was simply told they are not currently available to the public.

As most people stated, the racks aren't available to the general public.
However, if you run a LAN center, or host large-scale tournaments using Astro gear, you can contact them and likely work something out.

My dad owns a business (Central Marble and Granite) and he said that it would cost very little to make them with a machine. Plus he said that they would use very low grade granite if that is true...

They would probably be a couple hundred dollars per unit, due to demand and the Astro brand name with it.
You could probably get away with grouping them on a table but they would have to be pretty bunched up to use the Daisy Chain Connector.

I may be mistaken about it being composed of granite, it may be a high durable metal. But it also has special wiring done in it though.

The ASTRO racks were given to TLN in exchange for promotional marketing materials. The racks will be available for commercial and residential use soon, if they aren't already.

They are metal for sure. Anything made custom for a small market makes costs jump. All that are is a big slot that holds the old style mixamps in a row and clamps to the table.

I just can't believe some people honestly thought that they could be made of granite.
