In addition to SKB, check out the cases made by Gator 
(http://www.gatorcases.com).  They're a direct competitor to SKB, and have 
comparable products with slightly different configurations.  One of their 
DJ Consoles may offer you enough cable space, but take a look for yourself 
and see.

I just picked up one of the Gator 12-space racks, rather than an 
SKB.  Price was actually a bit lower than the SKB, but the deciding factor 
for me was the fact that the Gator has rear rails on it (not so on the 
SKB's).  Thus, I don't have to waste my front rack spaces on items I don't 
actually touch after setup, like my quad DI box and dedicated EQ unit.
