The recommendation was to build shelves into them , bolt to the floor , and weigh them down.

There's a range of stands out there. In the US you see some with a pressed steel job, and there's also a hybrid with cast iron brackets and steel tube legs.

Edit: Jock, you beat me by that much ;-}

Yep. The first cast legs I have seen from teknatool were on the 1624.

Nick, I took a look at the link you posted and noticed that the legs weighed 22Kg each. The Jet legs that I'm offering Ern are also cast iron and weigh in at 35Kg each, they should be capable of supporting the DVR.

I was just

I actually think that if it could be adapted to fit then great
I've seen the jet legs and they seem to be as solid as. and they have go fast stripes
