Odd question you might think, but I'm thinking about building a hifi rack out of rubberwood chopping boards like this one:
Buy Cookworks Large Solid Butchers Block. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

I'd be using a complete board for a shelf then one cut width ways to act as sides/supports with spikes used to separate each tier. There will be 3 tiers in all.

Now my problem is that would only give me an inside shelf space of 440mm
while my pre/amp/cd all measure 432mm in length.

I can allow for up to 240mm of headroom for airflow but only 4 mm on each side. would this be alright or am I pushing my luck?

you could make vents in the sides

I've thought about that but I think it may ruin the look

I should have a slight gap between tiers of about 5-10mm due to the spikes and cups.

just to show what look I'm going for:
IKEA | Coffee & side tables | Sofa tables | EXPEDIT | Coffee table

But thanks to that picture I think Ikea has solved my problem
