Something that just occurred to me last night: you can use standard rack rails for mounting MOTM modules. I don't mean vertically mounting modules using the MOTM-19A rails, but running rack rails horizontally. I knew that 1u MOTM = 1u rackspace but I thought the screw size was different or something. This makes it super-easy to build a cabinet, just buy some rack rails from Middle Atlantic or wherever. 

Of course I figured this out when I'm 90% finished with my new cabinet with Bridechamber rails (which are not that expensive). But you always outgrow your first cabinet, right?

Any update on rack rails? I'm due a pair that Suit and Tie Guy paid 
for (I sent him my set because he was in a hurry), and I need a 
second set -- but they don't really seem to be shipping, so I haven't 
ordered more. Is the metal shop scheduled to produce a run of rack rails?
