    One of the post houses I've worked with extensively over the last year has 8 macpros on racks in an air conditioned room(along with decks, xserves and more). They are just sitting vertically on shelves. It's not the most space efficient way to do it, but it does ensure proper space for cooling, and it looks pretty nice.

    Hello,

    I am seeking advice on mounting my MacPro and one 23" cinema display in my travel trailer for use on set for editing now, RED data management down the road a bit.
    I intend on leaving room for a second matching monitor.

    Since my summer project involves high levels of dust and grit due to motorcycles, a cabinet type arrangement on pull out racks would rule but I'm not seeing what I'm looking for yet. Thinking the dead oven in my 1976 Terry comes out and the Mac Pro goes in. Hoping to find some vintage shag carpet, too. Any suggestions encouraged, thank you.

    Although they're pretty beefy machines, XServes have embedded graphics (as a graphics card is not needed on a server).
