Not for electronics stuff (that seems to be all software these days) but I’ve used various delay/reverb/EQ/compressor rack mount gear for live sound production bits and bobs. Can’t see why it wouldn’t work depending on your set up.
One Can probably pick up second hand stuff not too expensively if you want to give it a try, everything from an engineering standpoint seems to have gone software and be included in digital mixers rather than as standalone units so imagine there’s a fair amount of stock floating around not doing much.

Only rack gear I have is audio interfaces (UAD/Focusrite) and a Quadraverb that I bought off eBay. I also have an Analog Heat, and a little FMR RNC compressor but I bought that with a live rig in mind.
There’s a thread on Elektronauts about folks using analogue hardware compressors / preamps / distortion / saturation etc but the prices mean you have to really, really believe that they’re better than the software options now to justify it (or be running a commercial studio).

@EB
Is anyone using any rackmount gear? EQ/Compressors? @Regal perhaps?
How come every gear demo video is some American guy running his rootin' tootin' Rawk guitars through a tasty unit and never any electronic heads?
