This is a good point for why an actual rack is a bad thing for some use cases in the home. When moving into my current house an AV Geek neighbor setup a home theater type setup with the receiver, amp, in house audio (VSSL) amp, and other devices in a large high quality rack that I spent too much money on.

None of this uses a lot of power or makes a bunch of heat. The receiver tops out at 140W total RMS over seven channels and the VSSL is about 20 per channel. The rack adds an additional 75mm to each side of the rack and 120mm to the front and back. It takes up a lot of room in its closet and I’d be happier with more space to move around it.

LACKs are a bit too flimsy and small for the setup I want to replace. The parent’s shelving unit example looks like a great replacement, especially since I want to store things in that closet on shelves anyway.
