That's a pretty good range, actually, that'll put you in reach of a lot of decent racks. IMO, the structure of the rack's most important. Shelves can always be replaced.Names like Apollo and Target are well-respected. Another one I saw recently that looked promising is the BL-line of VTI racks, with individually spiked shelf sections, though I didn't see a five-shelf version.
StudioTech is inexpensive and decent too. I've used a StudioTech PS-5 myself (if you're interested in it, e-mail me privately).
See my other post to you for sites where you can find these racks.
If you're handy, you might try the DIY route too. It'll cost you considerably less than buying pre-made stands. TNT-Audio's site has the Flexy Rack and Ken Lyon's IKEA Lyte (aka IKEA Lack rack) rack are popular. Personally, I'd go for the IKEA Lyte rack. You have an IKEA right near Chicagoland in fact. Here are a couple o' links to whet your appetite:
