Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool?

I have my first seperates system going and it sounds great but the amp gets awful warm. I was thinking about drilling some holes in the shelf it sits on right under the heat sink to get a little more air flow.

The amp is on the bottom shelf which is only a couple of inches above the floor but I figure it would help a little.

Anyone tried this?

Hi
Just drill some holes as long are not visible. It will not hurt anything and if the bottom of your amp has vents this will help cooling down things. Don`t drill to little, go about 3/4" in a nice pattern.
