Does a dumb thing like this exist? (cabinet question)

Does anyone sell a combo amp style cabinet with rack spaces on top? I think it would be really neat to throw a rack power amp (maybe also a preamp) in the same box as a 1x12.
Especially if its unloaded, being able to try a bunch of different speakers and preamps together, and still have a unit that travels easily would be a lot of fun.

A quick google didn't turn anything up, and my assumption is that its a niche enough thing that if anything like this exists its custom, but if you know better let me know!

Turns out I asked too soon. found a couple options.

cant imagine i'd do much better than that, but if there's anything else out there, I'd still be down to hear about it

That's pretty cool! Don't think I've seen those before.

Groove Tubes used to make precisely that, but you very rarely see them without one of their amps inside. They do turn up occasionally, though, usually $150-200. A friend gigs with one of their old Soul-O combos which lets him mount his rack FX right along with the amp, it's super practical.

Those soul-o's look pretty sweet
