Hello!
Does anyone here know of somewhere I can get a speaker cab with some rackmount space on top? I would like to be able to use my SMS classic preamp as a combo amp. Any help would be very appreciated.

I'd keep them separate.
The only thing I know of commercially made are road cases for cabs and racks:

Yeah, another vote to keep it separate for two reasons:
1) weight
2) I believe it was Brad Sarno who initially mentioned this, but back in the day around 1970 / 1971, the band would notice that after a few shows on the road the tone would seem to lose some luster. They realized that the movement of the cranked amps was shaking the tubes too much. This was why they started putting their speakers in sperate cabinets from the pre-amps.
