I’ve never seen any pro-audio or professional-installed A/Vsystems use such a ventilation system in their racks. Negative-pressure is the industry standard.
That said, it could probably work, as long as you force at the bottom of the rack and exhaust at the top, and make sure everything is sealed airtight. The advantage of being able to filter the incoming air is a definite plus!

The reason I was headed down that path was that without using perforated rack type shelving (which seems to be quite expensive) that solid shelves would make a bottom - top style ventilation ineffective. So I was thinking 1 fan for each shelf mounted through the side of the cabinet and using he holes drilled in the back for cords as the exhaust.
I suppose one could drill he ~4" holes in the center of the shelves and blow the air up through each component area. Always looking for other ideas... Thanks.
