If you're going to buy rack-mount chassis, be careful of what you get. Some have "bare motherboards" meaning that the motherboard is just a set of PCI slots and you have to supply a processor card. You have to make sure that the chassis will accept a standard motherboard, and cards.
Also, rack mount chassis can get expensive. Why not just build a deep bookcase- type cabinet with shelves and fans, and "rack" your equipment that way?

Three of them are mid-tower, and one is a desktop. They take up too much space, so I'm thinking about racking them. I know that you can buy empty chasis, and a rack is pretty easy to build (especially when your father in law is a carpenter ;-). However, I don't know if the transition is possible.
