The overall view, with my 900-discs CD player rack at the right.

The entire rack ( above left) is
5 foot 6 inches tall, 23 inches wide (standard 19 inch rack
spaces), and 24" deep. The rack is covered with black speaker
carpet, and is actually two sections interlocked using twisting
butterfly catches. The bottom section has castors to allow easier
rear access and moving of the equipment.
The processor section (right) includes the following components:
MXR over-easy compressor, a 20-watt Stereo GLI utility amplifier
to drive the backyard/pool speakers (remoted volume control),
Pioneer dual-cassette deck with Dolby/HX-Pro, Alesis 3630
compressor/limiter/gate for CD audio level matching, MXR 2/3
Octive Dual Equalizer, Pioneer VSX-4800 Surround Sound Audio/Video
Receiver/Amplifer (100-watts per channel), rack drawer with
a 6-channel DJ-mixer, rack-type 8-switch power-strip with
EMI/RF/Surge protection.
The lower section contains the surge protector and three
PD-F1007 Pioneer 301-disc players loaded with about 900 audio
CD's. The system is controlled from an office that is adjacent
to the living room, using a Pentium P75-166mhz mini-tower
with a ELO touch-screen, and Wintek's PSR-4P controller which
requires only three-wires from the PC equipment to the CD
rack equipment.
