I am in the process of re-rack mounting all my equipment in the studio. I was wondering if I should leave a rack space open above or below my SCA pres (cooling) or is it necessary? The rack will have the 2 MOTU converters, my ART Dual MP tube pre (great DI for bass) and mu Furman power distribution.
Any thoughts?

I think the SCA rack in itself will not heat up enough to require ventilation, you might want to check the power conditioner and the tube pre to see if they pose a heat problem to any of your equipment.
I read on John Wilkinson's "Art of digital audio" book that clock stability in ADC/DAC is influenced by temperature drifts, you might want to leave some room around your converters.. maybe

It depends on how many of which modules are installed. Fully loaded with C84s will absolutely require good air flow. A pair of A12s will probably be happy in a closed road case.
