I built this wooden server rack to hold 3 poweredge 1950's and 2 poweredge 2850's, 2 switches, and a powervault. My friend says it might be dangerous because the servers might light the rack on fire. I dont really believe him, but just checking your guys's opinion just to make sure. the servers all run relatively cool, but i am in dry Colorado and well, fires start every time someone rubs two sticks together, so I am wondering. here is a picture of the rack for a reference point.

As long as nothing throws sparks, you should be good, as all of the servers are in their own cases.

The flashpoint of untreated wood is like, somewhere in the 300c range. And yours is probably treated so it is even higher. You're fine.
