-- Rack Style: Open or Enclosed? If you want to have continuous, easy
access to your rack mounted equipment and don't mind it being in plain
sight, an open rack is a straightforward, and often cost-effective, option.
On the other hand, if you prefer to keep your electronic components
concealed, or to give them extra protection against moisture, chemicals and
dust, an enclosure is more along the lines of what you need.
-- Ventilation: To extend the life and improve the performance of your
home theater or network equipment, the most important thing you can do is
keep it cool and well-ventilated. If you're considering using an open rack
in a temperature-controlled room, then your ventilation problem is already
solved. However, because enclosures tend to trap heat, if you opt for one
you'll need to take a few thermal-management measures. Rack mount fans,
ventilation units and vented panels or enclosure tops will help to move
warm air out and cool air in.
-- Construction: Will your rack system arrive to you already welded
together, or will you have to apply some elbow grease and assemble it
yourself? Most steel enclosures, like the ones available at
CableOrganizer.com from Quest, Great Lakes, Kendall Howard and Bud
Industries, come pre-assembled and ready-to-use, straight from the box.
Most open racks, though, are what are often referred to as knockdown-style,
which means that it's time to break out the tool box! While many knockdown-
style racks can be simple to assemble, look into the difficulty level ahead
of time to assess whether or not you'll need (or want) to pay someone to do
it for you.
-- Shelf Adjustability: Whether you're considering an open rack or an
enclosure, the adjustment capabilities of your rack system's shelving is
something you'll definitely want to give some thought to. It goes without
saying that fixed shelves afford you the least access to equipment. This
isn't much of a problem if you decide to use an open rack, since your
electrical components will be more or less exposed all of the time.
However, if you're leaning more towards an enclosure, sliding or swing-out
shelves will make a world of difference in how easy it will be to access
your home theater and network equipment when it needs to be serviced.
-- Customization: With regard to enclosures especially, when you're
choosing which vendor to purchase from, weigh into account whether or not
the company allows for customization. Why purchase a basic enclosure and do
the customization work yourself if you can have the manufacturer install
rails, fans, vents and cable management exactly where and how you want
them? Enclosures by Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes, available at
CableOrganizer.com, feature exactly those types of options.

electrical tools, we offer an extremely large selection to make any office
computer network or home theater system the best it can be," said Paul
