Are you making a poor mans server rack or something? You need airflow. Check the manufacturer of the cases you will use for recommended space. | ||

PITN is right though airflow to keep things cool will be critical. I assume that pic is a front view of the rack? Are the PCs actual desktops, towers on their side... rack units? | ||
