4 post rack shelf suggestions

Just looking for suggestions on a basic shelf for a 4 post rack. It can be fixed, no sliding or anything special but needs to support about 100+ pounds.
I found this but always open to something better/cheaper that will do the job.

I am half temped to make something on my own as I have quite a bit of diamond plate steel laying around.

Removed, wrong post.
If it's fixed you can easily make one yourself, I recall seeing a wood one where I used to work!
Ebay might also be another good option, 2nd hand rack stuff is a lot cheaper and not much can go wrong.
not sure where you are, but i would check craigslist if in the US.
The Ikea lack-rack, I used that but it sort of looks ugly.
100lbs+ A UPS?
That or servers. Looking to buy 2-3 to have on hand incase colo clients need them for whatever reason.
Makes sense.
I still use these for my audio equipment. I thought they looked pretty good if you stacked a few up. This is pretty clever:
Edit: Ooh, not suitable for datacenter use. Do you have surplus sales from government or anything in your area?
i think the OP is looking for a shelf for the rack not the actual rack itself.
Yes for a server rack but that pic is hella nice.
Not a shelf 100% but does the job for most, check out gruber rails. They're universal.
