This is exactly what I did, built a 20-space rack out of some nice-looking
plywood, with 8 spaces of rails in the back, and mounted the 900 in back.
My rack is 15" deep, with the rails set in 1" on each side. I could have
made it narrower, there's still about 3" clearance between the front of the
900 PCB and the back of the front mounted PCB's, but I think it wouldn't be
stable if it was any narrower. Basically, I think you can safely mount the
900 anywhere the cables will reach.
