Where can I get a decent Power Rack with a weight stack lat attachment for a fair price, I have checked at fitness fatory.com and saw a rack for 239.00 and another for 499.00 they appeared to built about the same except for the cross member. Is a gun rack a good thing to have on a rack, what should I look for when buying one? Thanks

I do not know about price (I am in Japan), but for a power rack: I would:
Get a WIDE one.
Get on with a pulley system if you can affford it.
Get one with a chin bar.
Get one that you can buy extra weight rests/pegs.

Hope this helps

BTW I do not know what a gun rack is

Where I live there is a store that sells used sporting equipment at pretty good prices. You might want to look for one of those in your area. Could be possible to pick up something used for a decent price. It's not like steel and iron go bad over time and I generally prefer and older worn bar anyways.

I would look at Tuff Stuff. It's what I have in my gym and supports around 800-1000lbs. Much better than the cheaper racks at Fitnessfactory.com

Tuffstuff.net

I have the adjustable bench, Power rack, high/low pulley and stool from them and they are are bulletproof.
