Rack Mounting

[wfazzina]

Has anyone here rack mounted their pc? I'm looking into it as an option for consolating my 2 main PCs and audio gear.

Yep, put my desktops, server + switch all in one little 4u rack when I was in a adorm. Worked pretty well.

Did you end up needing anything specific, or did you just use a run-of-the-mill server chassis?

Yes, I have a 12u rack for my media center and have all consoles, audio equipment, and the media PC mounted on there. It works well as long as you get the right mounting hardware, some manufacturers at the lower end of the price sector have really poor mounting solutions and they should be avoided, also make sure the thermals have a way of getting out or the components up top will fry.
