I made a stand with quick frame by 80/20 things turned out well but it needed a significant amount of additional bracing (L-brackets, panels, cross members). I chose to use the quick frame rather than the standard 80/20 to save on costs, but in the end I'm not sure I saved much. I based my design on the the designs I found here:

Thank you, it turned out very close to how I envisioned so I am happy. If I build/design a stand again I might go with something custom welded or the 80/20 t-slot
 
I just saw this for the first time and I LOVE the octopus graphic! Very cool!
