Does anyone have a good or bad experience using a PC server rack for audio equipment?


I have a 2 rail PC server rack with 7 steel shelves that was used for all my PC equipment that I am no longer using.  Each shelf is attached with 8 machine screws and are 17 1/2" W X 19" D, providing a very stable rack.  My equipment will all fit, barely. I was thinking of putting 1/4" MDF board on the steel shelf for some (if little) vibration absorption.  Has anybody tried something similar?   By today's standards I have a very low end lo-fi system consisting of vintage 1976 Marantz equipment, speakers are Revel Performa F208 floor-standing loudspeakers.  Streaming is done via BlueSound Node.

Thanks for the feedback.  It definitely will be more secure than what I have right now.

That's a good idea, I am also thinking about some 4" rubber wheels, makes getting at the back of the equipment easier and also provides some portability.  Those are not major ticket items, just makes things more convenient.
