First time buying a Power rack, thoughts on this...

Hi Guys, some background, I'm 19, Adelaide, 168cm and weigh around 55kg and am about to start Starting Strength at home.

I've looked at various sites (incl. the sponsor ones here, and various threads on different racks on this site), I have my eyes mainly on this eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d?r

The only problem is that I want a dip attachment, now the power rack is a weird size at 75mm tubular steel, and am wondering if that will affect me able to buy a dip attachment? (Looking for some they all were saying like suitable for 50mm and 100mm racks etc?)

I asked additional questions and the equipment is 300kg rated across all the equipment. As I won't be able to lift a huge amount due to my small frame I think this will suit me?

Any thoughts for a newbie?

Cheers guys
 
I really like the original post power rack, I'd consider purchasing that. Beats my squat stands and waiting for a squat rack :)
Edit: $110 courier postage to Sydney.... I might shop local ;)

If you are after a second hand power rack, I have a powertec rack (about 4 years old), still in great condition and had the dip handles. I live in Adelaide so you could come pick it up. I think that they are $740 new plus postage so could do say $400.
