I'm considering getting a 7100+950 combo but before I do that, I want to figure out where I can safely put it. My current audio rack is only rated at 40lbs/shelf so I'm not going to put it there.

Regardless of whether I keep the combo past the 30 days, I'm in strong need of something new to put my tv on. Not wanting to spend an afternoon driving all over town, I'm considering the OASE-V3 but want to know if there is enough physical and ventilation space to place the two side-by-side on the middle shelf.

P.S. -- About an hour after posting this, I realized that it appears that eventhough there are 3 different sized video racks listed when you click to see the dimensions, there is only one listed in the online order form (the 42 or the 42X?). So the smallest size rack which I was considering might not even be available.

The OASE-V3 that is listed on the info page as being 35.5" wide would likely be difficult to make accommodate the 950 and 7100 side by side - the "usable shelf space" includes a width of 31.5", which is less than the combined width of 34" for both the 950 and 7100. I'm not certain, but that rack may not include the middle set of support posts shown in the pictures. The 42" OASE-V3 racks (which do include that middle set of support posts) have almost 18" clear between posts, allowing sufficient room for two pieces of gear to be placed side by side on one shelf. In all of the cases, the 8.75" clear at each shelf is sufficient to provide ventilation for the 7100 and 950. As for the 36" wide OASE-V3 rack's availability, I guess you'd have to ask Outlaw. I don't think that it would be wide enough for both pieces of gear to fit side by side, though.
