As to the mini-rack -

Let me predicate this with "I don't know if this would be the perfect
solution for everyone, but..."

I have a friend who teaches CCNP courses and needs to borrow my ISDN setup
once in a while, and pulling things off the main rack is a real pain. I
wanted to put two 2503's, my ISDN simulator, the NT-1's and a 2509 on a
separate portable rack so it could be easily detached from the rest of my
gear when needed. I visited my local Greybar and picked up two lengths of
wall rack metal and screwed it all together, and so far it's worked great.
I don't think I'd use it for a traveling road show, but for the limited
amount of mobility I need, it works great and only cost $12 (after the cost
of individual rack kits for the routers, which I would have had to have
purchased anyway).

I hope that helps...

Subject: router rack materials

I recently purchased 6 routers and have them stack one on top the other.
5 are 2501's with the ventilation on the bottom. Aside from placing
them in a rack, would spacers between each router suffice for proper
ventilation? Also, where would one obtain the mini rack to hold 6
routers?
