I use three cheap(er) Big Box retailer stands made of metal and glass, that were on sale for $100 or so each. I filled all the metal parts with playbox sand, then sealed the openings. (I made a very small funnel out of clay for the slender diagonal struts!!)
So one long stand has Plasma and video stuff. The tall stand has the two channel electronics, and the last long stand has two TTs on it, with a few things under.
I am happy with the setup.
SO: if you can fill the legs with sand, or some other product to dampen then hollow metal legs, and use dampening material on the shelves (if glass) then you can have a decent stand for really cheap.
