I agree that doors on racks cost money, but if properly installed and the enclosure is filtered, it goes a long way to keeping the CPUs cool and running efficiently for a long time with minimal downtime.

WOW! You must be loaded (or were, before you bought the doors <g>). My experience has been that putting doors on and/or side panels, etc., means you're going to need more fans, light, power. This is all good for the rack manufacturer, but not so good for your budget. But if you have the wherewithal to do it right ... doors, side panels, fans, lights, etc. ... by all means, have fun! That's what all this crap we do is all about anyway ... having fun.
