Yep. The time has come. I need more rack space.
This is my current rack, 2 rows of 52hp.

However I have just finished building a DIY Dannysound dynamics stereo compressor system. The initial idea was to just swap the top row out when I wanted the compressor. Although the compressor modules kind of fit (they are deep and chunky boys) there’s almost no space behind them for power cables) it’s a pain in the arse.

So, I have thought about building either a second small case, with room for expansion (I like building DIY kits)

Or one big case, 2 rows of 104hp. example below (I don’t own the M185, it’s just a kit I have my eye on)

I’m open to thoughts and ideas, 2 small cases vs one big one.
Go.

One big one is always better than two little ones.

Dunno why I asked.

Did anyone think of

One big one

AND

One small one

?

(At this rack size I agree the big case is the correct choice)

You should definitely get a bigger case, and keep the small case around for when you run out of room.
