>>Comments: Any special form factors anyone would like to propose ? 
>>i.e.  a 3" x 5" pcb, or single eurocard, or "frac-rack etc. If all modules
>>were the same size and mounting location, we could all save a lot of time.

>Why not standardize on the FracRack dimensions? It is a commercially
available format, so that a DIY-er without metalworking ability/facility
can buy parts off the shelf. Also, John Blacet seems to have gone this
