At first I was thinking it might have been ignorance on the part of 
my friends here in Tokyo keeping them from putting their Macs in 
racks but the more I think about the way my Mac opens up the more I 
wonder if the people who put them in racks are not the ones making 
the mistake.  When I put something in a rack I usually do it to 
maximize accessibility and for efficient use of space.  The current 
server style Macs are well suited to racks but the tower type?  Naw. 
Sure you can put one in there but what about when you want to open it 
up?  You have to leave what? 10? rack spaces open above it or else 
you won't be able to open the door.  So that means you are probably 
going have it taking up about 14 rack spaces all together including 
the empty spaces?  I don't really see the advantage .
