While waiting for my order to get assembled and shipped, I'm thinking of how I want to expand. I have a desk with 19" rack space in it, so obviously it might be a good space to put an AE system.
AE doesn't conform to rack units, but its a little over 2 units, so I have to go up to 3 rack units. 16 units will fit well within the width and a lot of my dimensions were just lifted off of the standard width case. I don't know where the screw holes are or anything since I don't have any dimensions.
Option one is to put a standard 1x16 case in there. Option two is to mount the modules directly to the rack frame.
Now we have some space on top of the rack and I have to figure out what to do. I'm thinking of making a couple things...one idea is to make my own RACKLINK with some multis along the top that route signals across the width of the rack. This would then also allow for expanding to more 19" racks easily.
I think it would be relatively easy to have this kind of thing made, but I'd have to find it out.
