Apologies if this has been discussed (I did attempt to search).
Simple question....what do you guys do with your extra rack space? I have two extra spaces and will probably put a rack compressor in there at some point but for the time being, its just a big empty space. I'd like to cover it. Suggestions?

Those fans and grilles are in there for a reason. Realistically, I can't imagine it matters too much...
