If you want as cheap as possible have a look at the DIY Lack Rack

http://lackrack.org/

It gives you approximately 9u but it's cheap and can break if the amount of items stored need to be reinforced.

I bought a 12U enclosed rack from Navepoint and I'm really liking it (they call it a wall mount rack, but it's fine sitting on the floor). The next cheapest I could find that was acceptable build quality was Tripp Lite. You can find both on Amazon but I bought my navepoint rack direct from them because they had a sale at the time. Both companies make larger and smaller racks, at work we buy a lot of full height Tripp Lite non-enclosed racks. If you don't need a 4-post rack, you can buy a cheap ish rack meant for music equipent on stage. Rack music equipment, like amplifiers and such, use the exact same width and hole spacing as network equiment. I have a 10U stage equipment rack that I keep my Cisco test equipment in, and I think it cost about $40.
