This is a *great* idea!

I'm about to start taking delivery of modules that Ric Miller has been
building for me, and the power bus I have setup for that is all 20 gauge
wire. I have a couple of stand alone rack frames that I'll be putting the
modules in, and I just wired up a grid of barrier strips bolted down to the
side of the frames. Ric has terminated the power pigtails on the modules
with spade connectors so it's just a matter of mounting the modules and
hitting the power switch. :)
