Step 2Gut the rack
This is by far the most time consuming part. But it isn't that hard. It just takes some persistence with a socket and screwdriver set to remove all of the internal bits that you can safely remove, while retaining the structural integrity.
The main reason for removing all the innards, is that the normal 19" (~475mm) vertical rails make for a fairly squeezy space. But once you remove them, you actually have more like 24" (600mm) of space, which is must more reasonable.
If you plan to drop through the floor via a theatrical trap-door, then don't forget to remove any floor panels in the rack.
Alternatively, you might decide that it would be fun to have your production rack double as a telephone booth, like mine does now. Whatever floats your boat; it's your phone booth.
