[nsp] mount cisco720x in cabinets

I just moved from relay racks to cabinets and,
as expected, it's hotter in the cabinets :-)

These cabinets have a fan at the top to suck air out, so I figured
that it might be beneficial to mount the 7206vxr on their side, so
that they suck up, and blow in the same direction as the cabinet fan.

Bad idea?  Good idea?  If good, then anyone know where I can get a
pair of mounting strips?   These would be just like the vertical
mounting posts in the cabinet, only just long enough to mount 
horizontally on the real vertical mounting posts.   Then I could
attach the routers to these horizontal bars.

Comments?

Thanks,
