Wow, this is an old thread!
For venting purposes I would tend to allow for a 2-3 unit per component especially if you plan to house amps in the unit in question, you can never get to much air flow in my opinion, more the merrier is what i say and do..
I'm in favor of good ventilation, even if my current equipment rack hasn't always been a very good example of it. Leaving a few inches clear above heat-generating components (especially power amps and stuff like cable boxes) is definitely good advice. The original poster in this case was planning to use the Model 200 (since replaced by the Model 2200), though, and it was specifically designed to allow limited stacking. In most cases, a stack of three 200's or 2200's is acceptable both for heat rejection and structurally. Once you create that stack, it's probably a good idea to give them a little breathing room before the next shelf. My pair of 200's are set up in a similar arrangement.
