First thing I would do is slap stickers all over that back. Bleh.
Knew it! Classic marketing. The stand is pretty sweet still though. Is there a 3u and a 6u option then? I think iād probably go for a case + a mother 32 over the minibrute2+rackbrute if I was to go modular but thereās definitely a market for this stuff. Hopefully this means some cheap modules coming in the future
People say that Eurorack is expensive. Can anyone give me an idea of the cost? For example in the Arturia video above, how much would those modules cost total?
Check out modular grid, you can build a modular from real modules and find a price. It doesnāt actually have to bankrupt you, I think itās more the idea that thereās always more you can add. It obviously comes with a bit of a premium having a custom instrument but itās not as unattainably expensive as itās made out to be to get a starter rig setup from what Iāve seen. Also though it can be ridiculously expensive very quickly though if you have a taste for fancy modules

The modules in the video above would be around 1700 euro if you buy them new.
You can save some cash buying used.
However, there are some fancy modules in this one. Morphagene for example is around 600 Euro. So for the price of only that module you get more or less the whole minibruteā¦
So, if you buy more basic modules it can be way cheaper.
My 3u (one row as the one above) was about 2000 with the case.
But I also like fancy modules 
Most semimodulars are a bargain compared to buying single modules
I think, as you mentioned, the seemingly manic collector mentality that comes with the territory increases the price after a while. And there seems to be a lot less finished productions per dollar from what Iāve seen 
Modular wont bankrupt you as long as you remain focused on music making and not turn into a brand collector. I think where people get thrown down the money hole is when collecting outweighs usage.
The are a number of complete systems that are between 800$-1500$ which isnāt too bad and imo the better way to dive into modular is nabbing a complete system.

It looks pretty cool to have a small rack for FX. But I understand that thereās some complication with putting line signals into the units, any knowledge on that? The whole topic is such a massive jungle of what the hells for me

from what i know the line signal is quite a bit lower than the modular signal and generally to boost the line signal one would use and attenuater module for the incoming line signal. But, i have heard a number of individuals say this is unnecessary and the line can be fed directly into the modular system.

Thinking of picking up one for my Folktek Mescaline, if I ever decide I want to play out with it, instead of just sampling noises from it, for playback from Octatrack or OP-1.
