I've been investigating this for a while.  At one time I was going to have Quantum Scientific build some custom cases but they were a bit too pricey for me (do a web search for them if you want to see some very nice lightweight cases).  I have settled on  having 11-space custom "suitcase" racks for my MOTM so that they are transportable in size.  I should have some pics in a couple of months and will share them.  Basically small flight cases kind of like the Doepfer portable racks.

Right now I'm between using R&R Cases (the BEST, no question) or Titan
Cases (local, and probably a little less expensive).  If you're in
Chicago R&R is the way to go.

Imagine something like this Quantum Scientific case, but without the
blocked out section (the whole face would be 11 rack units of space):

And it would be aluminum extrusion edges, ball corners, and composite
panels.  Like I said, the all-aluminum Quantum cases are beautiful,
and lightweight, but they are around $500 each for an 11-space shallow
rack.  Not bad, but my cases should be about half of that.
