Aside from referring you to the slashdot discussion, if you are likely have more than three computers, you may want to get a real rack, which are cheap from surplus. Check your city, county, and local school districts, or craigslist.

A wall mount rack is okay for things that don't have connectors in the rear.

Run plenty of cable. Running one cat5e to a room? Run a pair while you're at it. Two isn't much harder to run than one.

Cat5e is WAY better than wireless. Wireless is for mobile devices.

If you do decide to ventilate a closet, look.at the vents used for clothes dryers. You'll likely want a BIG closet or small room, though, so you can work in there, plugging stuff in, adding drives, etc.
