Re: Rack mount cabinets...depths?!

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all, its more a future proof sense was wondering if i bought
one rack then one day needed to get something bigger in there could i
do it so the answer seems with caution yes!

gives me a bit more freedom,
Need to measure my av amp now see if its wider than 19" ideally i want
everything to be in the rack either mounted properly or on shelves. at
the moment its on a glass five shelf av stand, want to move to a rack
to gain some space and ease the cooling.

Thanks
Noel
