Heres an example of an MFX split rack configured as a Series 3. If I were continuing with this project the racks would be shipped off to Peter in Sydney for a makeover.

Peter's system is a thing of beauty indeed :)

Ive a feeling however, that putting a system in a rack is probably something only Peter knows how to do : 

If you look at Peter's system, there is a custom plate at the far left which appears to have the connector for the music keyboard, so you would need one of them, if you wanted to continue to use your music keyboard I guess.

Next up : I guess you loose the ability to have your ever reliable 8 inch disk drive in the rack (at least I cant see where you would put it). Im not even sure where you would mount a hard disk ( I assume in one of the the two units that arnt the digital or analogue card cage.

I dont recognise the cards to the right of the midi and sync cards on either unit : are these router cards ? Or something MFX specific ?

Just a quick note : in the first listing you say that the unit contains the original backplanes : the analogue card cage does not have enough physical slots to be an original (not even enough for the output cards).

Really interesting auction, and peter's rackmount makes me drool, but way beyond my understanding as to what would be involved to actually acheive this.

Really appreciate the heads up though :)

Best wishes : Arron
