it might be wiser to start with a stomp box or two until you gain more knowledge about what you need.
start with a simple digital delay.

Rather than limit your self to just an effects rack, I would go the whole way and have a rack large enough to house a preamp, amp and maybe a voltage regulator.

I used to like lots of toys. I'd now say a rack rig should have:
A Brad Sarno preamp (his tube stuff just sounds GOOD).
A good reverb (or perhaps the Lexicon MPX100, good reverb plus other effects)
A class D power amp (Class D is lightweight and just one space)
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects
