I see, but if rails must be added and not replaced, i guess rails 
have their own thickness so the modules would probably protrude a 
bit outward of the case if I'm not mistaking, unless there's a deep 
gap in those cabinets between the edge of the cabinet and the 
internal surface where the modules are attached. I can not tell 
anything from the pics.
What about the number of U spaces? i calculated that a 22 .com is 
equivalent to 26 motm U plus some gap, is this correct? I'm not 
familiar at all with inches in this metric latin world :-)

There is no problem with thickness.  Yes, it provides 26U plus a little 
gap that is handled with Stooge end caps.  I believe all the rails and 
screws are -- or will be -- available from Stooge Industries.
