    Rack heat tape
    Building a 6 slot 41q rack. Can't decide if I should do two 6' pieces of tape with 2 probes or one 12' with one probe. Continuous side/ belly heat. Any advice from experience?

    I tried parallel at one point and it didn't really do as well. It's alot of trouble in an enclosed rack which I have to use because it's not in a warm room. That's why I do the side/belly. I need all the surface area I can get.
