So disciplinarian from the bottom and where's a good place to put it I made an AV rack with the server rack should I put it on the top or in the middle

I would put this on the very top if you have a way for exhaust to escape out the top. Hot air rises so this is the most efficient place to put it to remove the hat air.

It depends on your set up, but you want to move heat away from your components, especially A/V Receivers, amplifiers, computers, & of course the Xbox 360 or anything else with heat issues. The fan is a bit noisy, not an issue if you have your A/V rack in a closet - if not consider an inexpensive thermostat to turn it on or off

Depending on whether or not it's an open or enclosed structure will determine placement. It's designed to pull the hot air away from your equipment and push it in the opposite direction. So wherever you can best accomplish that is where you should put it. If it's a fully enclosed case I recommend putting it at the top or flipping it upside down and putting it at the bottom.

I put the fan in the middle directly above the amplifier it cools. The area above the fan is clear of obstructions ensuring that the fan works efficiently.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.

I have a lot of faith in this mount, but I would be very careful when meeting the max like that. I happen to have an Onkyo as well and they are pretty heavy. If you have no other options you could always put a brace underneath as well if you feel it is unstable. I would also put the Onkyo as close to the wall as possible so that it may hold the weight and not be too far out where the stress is higher on the rack. Just make sure you secure is as good as possible, maybe brace it, and set it on easy and you should be able to get away with it.

While it can go either way, all installations I have done have the smaller compartment on the bottom. I think is just looks better that way.

The bottom shelf isn't very strong. I have a similarly sized case (Nzxt h2) and I chose to put it on the floor next to the desk.

It would depend on your receiver size (dimensions and weight). I would suggest if you are planning to buy one fan you can keep it on top but if you buy more than 1 you could position them at bottom.

I would say, only on the lower shelves. this unit is split in two sections; top and bottom. The top shelves are smaller. The inside width is about 23.5" wide so, your AV equipment must be less than that wide. The weight can be supported but mainly on the lower half of the unit. The top half is a bit wobbly. I would not put expensive AV equipment up there.

It's a computer. You can put it anywhere you want to. I keep mine on the floor, but a desktop should work. If you stack it with the same kind of processor, memory, and graphics card (if you like teh games) then you probably wouldn't even notice a difference.

If it is a 2u half depth light weight server, sure, but this is a 2 post telecom rack. It is really more geared toward switch gear or pizza boxes, not servers that would be better in a 4 post rack. You could put the server at the bottom of the rack and let it rest against the ground ... but this rack isn't really meant for servers.

you will have to purchase the rack moutable equipment to make it that way. it does not come to you as rack mountable.

I'd say use a "stand-off" for your SSD. Really, your SSD doesn't need a hard mounting point. Use some small washers, sticky feet, or even card stock to give a little more clearance. It won't hurt your SSD...

If I remember correctly the widest it supports is about 19". Might do some research on rack-mounted servers and check their width dimensions.

Danny, the lower shelf is not very well supported in the middle. If you add a few small wooden blocks under the shelf, it will support your 220 lb gear. I did the same. The blocks are not easily visible unless you put your nose to floor and peek. I wouldn't advice putting it on the middle shelf or on the top. Cheers!

Yes it will work fine for that. Any server that spans the width of the rack works.

I wouldn't set it on its side, the fan needs ventilation to cool down and the cd/DVDs drive isn't intended to load sideways. That being said there are CPUs like all in ones that sit that way. Personally I wouldn't do it.

Considering that the itam is modular, I would not recommend setting it up on an uneven area. A flat, hard surface would be my recommendation.

There is a hole in the bottom of its case. I placed it where I wanted it on top of the computer's case, marked the hole's location and bored a corresponding hole in the case - being sure to catch the metal shavings. Then, I bolted it in place. (I ran the drive cables up the back of the computer case where they are exposed and have been knocked loose.)

Sandy W. I have done both, but have to place the rack so that it is lower in the oven, which means you need to watch the bottom of whatever you are cooking. If you are using a shallow baking dish that centers your food quite evenly, everything seems to work fine! Hope this helps!
