Looking into replacing my Oppli with something with better air ventilation. Must hold 5 poweramps, av pre-processor, DVD player, probably HD-DVD player later on, and a 42" flat panel screen.

Standard kit width, 45cm wide.
 
Can't you get a tall rack (32U) and add your own grilles + fans for ventillation, or are you looking to buy something off-the-self with specialised cooling?
 
Something lowish, a typical av rack, rather than "server" cabinet with cooling. They don't need forced air cooling, just currently a bit closed in. They just squeeze in the Oppli, with no space to either side at all.
 
:confused:

What we've done on some larger installs is buy a server-like rack but it has pre-cut oval vents in the sides which help improve airflow no end!

If you're after a smaller style rack, you might consider spacing the equipment over 2 racks? That way you can stack 2 amps, put a grille-blanking-plate between them (to let them breathe), and continue this system for the others (grille every 2 units)
