Just built a rack yesterday with my wife and got rid of all of our tanks. Total project was less than $200 and took about 3 hours. we have heat cable taped to each shelf for belly heat and a heat lamp to take a bit of the chill out of the room.
Here it is!

We used prefabricated melamine shelving found in the home storage section in lowes or home depot. They were $12 each for the sides and $9 for each shelf. We just put 4 wood screws into each shelf and its sturdy.
