Shock Mounting
I'd like to pick the collective brain about shock mounting.
Just got back from a two week event, which went great. When I first powered up, my MOTU card wasn't recognized, so I reseated it. I figured the drive (5 hours in an open single axle trailer) was probably to blame... and with no further problems, I wasn't too woried about it.
It got me thinking, though, that there might be a way to shock mount the PC inside a standard rack. My case is a desktop case to which I have attached rack rails for front-to-back stability, but the load is borne on a rack shelf underneath. It's never moved during transport that I can tell. However... I was thinking about a layer of thin memory foam underneath... but, then, what about the rails...
Any ideas?

99% of the time, things that aren't being done aren't because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.
