MOTM

The taller the rack the deeper it needs to be in order to be stable
when standing.  I had R&R Cases build some 12" deep 19" wood racks in
a case for my MOTM setup.  R&R is expensive but build the finest
touring case that I know of (I've used them for $250,000 mixing consoles):

If you stayed with normal 19" cases you could go with a bunch of
10-space racks.  EWI has the best inexensive (made in Korea) cases for
the money that are shallow enough for MOTM:

They also have 6-space racks and if you don't want the shallowest 10"
deep case they do have a 12" deep version.

Here are the R&R racks that I had built (they fit into ATA cases for
transport):

18mm 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood. Both are 11-spaces and have a door
on the rear.
