I plan on buying an Outlaw 770 and turning my Sony DA5ES into a pre. The space on my rack is only 8" high, will a 770 be able to fit in there and will it have enough ventilation? This is the rack I have. As you can see the sides are open and so it the back, I removed plastic wall on the back of the rack too. I guess my last resort could be placing the 770 on the top shelf, but that is where my turntable is and I don't know if the amp is too heavy to be up there.

Also does anybody know if the 770 will ever come in plain black? Thanks!
