I am the owner of 12 year old video editing and media duplication company; and have rack mounted a wide range of audio gear over the years with few problems. I'm not sure how well it would work with some types of consumer gear; given the thin face plates, etc. found on certain brands. As mentioned, there are ways to isolate rack mounted equipment for both vibration and electric noise. If you have limited space for your equipment, rack mounting may make sense.
I do have to say, that I rack mount some equipment - both audio and video - to save space and create an efficient work environment. When you're paying over a thousand dollars a month for studio space, it really does make sense. However, at home I use a Salamander unit for my main audio system because it blends well with my home furniture.
