Tips for buying a rack (audio/server style), Please

[TLS Guy]

OK... So revisiting this:

Is there any reason to not use a server frame rack for audio gear?

I see several that are adjustable depth, thus allowing me to select the depth I need to accommodate my largest item and the cords plugged in behind.
Beyond that, the only other real difference I see is the use of box nuts instead of pre-drilled and tapped holes.

Thoughts, please?

I will confess, I am not really familiar with server racks.

But I think they are 24" racks and not 19". Not having tapped thread with standard spacing I would think would be PITA.

I would recommend sticking to audio rack specs.

Several are marketed as both... 19" standard internal component width. The cage nuts aren't too bad to work with as long as the clip isn't loose.
