Important enough issue here to make a dedicated post. Like most any rack-able component, if you rackmount a Zcustom unit, you'll need to take the feet off the underside of the case. If you do take the feet off, do not put the feet screws back in the unit.
I just did this with a Zcd. After you take the feet off, the screws are loose and don't stay in the feet themselves. I didn't want to lose the screws, so I put them back in the case with the feet off. A minor point, but I also did it to plug the little screw holes.
Turns out, as compact as the Zcustom cases are, when I put the small screws back in, at least one was just big enough to contact a circuit board inside and short out the unit. Parasound swapped it out no problem. But this one is worth getting the word out to others, so nobody else fries a Zunit.
Now, back to my rockin' out my Zetup...
