Um, no? Unless you're going with bare slider shafts, good slide pots with
functional cap-knobs are going to take up just as much room. Same goes
for the back of the panel, the Alpha slide pots I'm using are just as wide
as the ∗super sexy∗ alpha rotary pots I'm using for the glide knobs.

I've had to adjust my 3U rack slider panel design a half dozen times to
make room for slider caps. It's driven me slightly buggy.
