On a side note, which rack-mount PC cases are you using? I've looked at
quite a few, but have not found any with more than two well-ventilated
drive mounts. They are all gigantic, but mismanage the space.
As for racks, we are using standard "relay-racks" with an overhead ladder
type thing that makes them hold several hundred pounds of equipment
securely. Nothing's enclosed, but I actually prefer that, it's much
easier to get at things, and ventilation is excellent.
