To and the list --

My solution to the weight problem when mounting heavy things in a  
rack is to use angle stock bolted to the sides of the rack cabinet.   
Here's a pic - http://www.fernblatt.net/A/rack_anglestock.jpg

That rail "shelf" bears the weight and the front screws simply hold  
the radio in place.  The aluminum rails give quite a bit of friction,  
so the front bolts aren't *really* needed, but I feel better with  
them there.

Another thing that helps in my case is assorted heavy "crap" in the  
bottom and an extra deep rack.

Outriggers on the front are A VERY GOOD IDEA if you use slides  
though, regardless.
