What order for my rack case?

[improvpwnd]

I recently upgraded to an 8 space rack case. In it, I have an SVT4-Pro (3 units), Furman Power Conditioner (1 unit), dbx 166XL Compressor (1 unit), and a Korg Tuner (1 unit).

The very top is the Furman. (1U)
Right under that is the Compressor. (1U)
Then, directly under that, is the tuner. (1U)
OPEN (1U)
OPEN (1U)
My SVT 4 is on the bottom. (3U)

It looks kinda weird with the middle open. Is there a better way to stack this?

You could use blindplates!

Blank plates will make it look less wierd, but I think what your doing is good. Those svt 4s heat up real real bad. You have to give them plenty of ventilation. I seem to remember they vent from the sides, so some people even cut holes on the sides of their cases. It looks like your giving it plenty of breathing room. You could install one of those 2 space rack fans, which would help all the way around.

And/or one of these: http://www.funklogic.com/ap302.htm

IF adding both, you'll have to dump that pesky tuner.

Any suggestions on where to get blank plates from?
