IIRC, aside from government surplus auctions (which is an easy way of getting 3 dozen if you pick up on site), I think the right keywords to use are “shock mount” and some variations on military surplus, rack, case, etc.
Local pickup is the key for these things - anyone living near a major metro should inquire where the state/county/city auction location is (though sometimes they auction “in place” so pay attention).
I got something like 6 steelcase filing cabinets for $160 - even renting a truck to pick them up was still a huge savings.
From government auctions or sometimes, weirdos. You can find them on eBay and other sites sometimes too, but like other people mentioned, local pickup and bulk buys are key because otherwise with freight shipping you’ll pay 100 usd / 1u or more. Bit more information.. these have caps in the front and back for travel, but if you’re not worried about cooling and willing to drill cable holes for usage these have great sound isolation. Construction is similar to pelican cases or similar, but way more beefy. Typical individual chassis are usually 4u, sometimes 8, but not more afaik.. maybe because everything in the field should be a 4 man lift, max.
