I asked my Apple rep about rackmounting an XServe for mobile audio.

He said you would have to custom build a very deep, shock resistant enclosure and then may still
have problems if the internal components can't handle the ride.

Price wise, you'd be better off building a shock resistant enclosure for a Mac Pro Tower.

Personally, I'd hold off till October's release of the Intel XServes and talk with Apple's Commercial Pro representatives about your portable needs.

They cart this stuff around for Expos and trade shows, so they've probably figured out
what it takes to protect the gear in transit.

You may also want to talk with the makers of Anvil road cases for recommendations.

I know they do or did make shock suspension enclosures.
