There is acutally plenty of space for 4 Cubes to sit comfortably on a 
rack mounted shelf.  As far as air flow, I put my hand over one of the 
cubes running at MacWorld and could actually feel air moving through it.  
As far as iMacs we have a slew of them running just fine without cooking.

The key to keeping servers from over heating is a properly controled 
climate. We keep room with about 80 servers at 70 degrees at all times.  
Also, as far as Rack Mounting Macs, you can always look at Marrathon, 
(http://www.marathoncomputer.com/) or use Baker Style Racks.  Good 
airflow, scalable, and perfect for strange boxes.
