We have a great way (well, ok, not so great) of mounting our 7507.  We
have old old Vaxen racks.  They're great because they're the proper width,
and height, but they're about 2 1/2 feet deep, and have four supports
instead of the two of the standard rack.  We've got a 7507, a 4000, a
funky DEC FDDI Concentrator (that puts FDDI onto coax.. now that's fun)
and two terminals in this guy and it's very happy.  I'm sure people sell
stuff like this still that would allow for more stability with very large
mountable devices.
