at least one primary ventilation cartridge, releasably affixable to a first computer support surface slot from said multiple computer support surface slots, having a primary cartridge height (i) approximately equal to a first computer height predetermined to be approximately equivalent to a first known commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer and (ii) less than half of said post height and defining a primary cartridge opening, upon affixation to said first computer support surface slot, in fluid communication with said interior cavity; and

at least one secondary ventilation cartridge, releasably affixable to a second computer support surface slot said multiple computer support surface slots, having a secondary cartridge height (i) approximately equal to a second computer height predetermined to be approximately equivalent to a second known COTS computer and (ii) less than half of said post height and defining a secondary cartridge opening, upon affixation to said second computer support surface slot, in fluid communication with said interior cavity.

8 . The kit of claim 7 wherein said primary cartridge opening and said secondary cartridge opening comprise substantially equivalent dimensions.

9 . The kit of claim 8 further comprising a block member adapted to elastically deform for impeding insertion into said primary cartridge opening and said secondary cartridge opening.

10 . The kit of claim 7 further comprising a block member adapted to elastically deform for impeding insertion into at least one of said primary cartridge opening and said secondary cartridge opening.

11 . The kit of claim 7 further comprising a primary blank cartridge sized to have identical dimensions to said primary ventilation cartridge, adapted to releasably reside upon said vertical support post and having a substantially-sealed sidewall to retain airflow within said interior cavity upon affixation to a third computer support surface slot from said multiple computer support surface slots.

12 . The kit of claim 11 further comprising a secondary blank cartridge sized to have identical dimensions to said primary blank cartridge, adapted to releasably reside upon said vertical support post and having a substantially-sealed sidewall to retain airflow within said interior cavity upon affixation to a fourth computer support surface slot from said multiple computer support surface slots.

13 . The kit of claim 7 further comprising a primary blank cartridge, adapted to releasably reside upon said vertical support post and having a substantially-sealed sidewall to retain airflow within said interior cavity upon affixation to a third computer support surface slot from said multiple computer support surface slots.

14 . The kit of claim 13 further comprising a secondary blank cartridge sized to have identical dimensions to said primary blank cartridge, adapted to releasably reside upon said vertical support post and having a substantially-sealed sidewall to retain airflow within said interior cavity upon affixation to a fourth computer support surface slot from said multiple computer support surface slots.

15 . A server rack stand kit, said kit comprising:

a vertical rack stand body portion having a computer support surface, and having a body height and an interior void in gaseous communication with multiple stand openings;

a substantially-sealed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer of a first type and having a first computer height, adapted to releasably reside upon said vertical rack stand body portion, having a first case body defining an airflow inlet opening and an airflow outlet opening; and

at least one support member, adapted to releasably position said computer of the first type on said vertical rack stand body portion wherein (i) said airflow inlet opening is proximate to at least a first stand opening of said multiple stand openings, and (ii) said airflow outlet opening is proximate to at least a second stand opening of said multiple stand openings.
