I'm buying a nautilus half rack tonight of Craigs List. I am getting a decent deal for it, so I want to get it, even though I really do want a full cage. Do you guys have any ideas as to what I can build as an add on to the rack to do things like Pin Pulls, and pin press, etc.? Or can I make homemade safety bars/pins? Here's a picture of the aparatus...

There have been some very good deals on full racks in Denver lately. A full rack is going to serve you much better and safer in the long run. Unless you have your heart set on this one, I would keep looking. Use http://www.searchtempest.com/ to search CL.
Good luck!

Thanks man. I've definitely been searching. The thing is the only ones who have gotten back to me want like $500 for a full cage...and I could get that deal from PowerTec. I want to get this done before Saturday, because I am moving into a new place. Great search tool though, thank you.
Any other ideas?

Man I really would pass on that. It doesn't even look like it has enough holes to do anything like what you want to do. By the time you add up the man hours and cost of supplies it will take you will be kicking yourself for not getting a full cage.
Be patient and keep searching, or buy new and just get something cheaper like a TDS or Powerline rack
