hi andy,
i think many racks have mounting hole spacings that will allow one to
accomodate 1.3U chassis right next to each other.
if you dont' want to use the 1.3U iStar enclosures, there are three
alternates:
1) Roach Hotel (1.3U)
http://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/ROACH_Motel
available from digicom soon, or you can build your own.
(plans are on the web site).
2) there's a 3U ? enclosure that NRAO designed.
available from digicom soon, perhaps now.
3) you can also purchase 1.5U, 2U and 3U enclosures from iStar.
similar to the D107, but taller.
best wishes,
dan

I decided it's time to rack up our ROACH boards. The cases they come
in are really oddly sized, though -- they seem to be about 1.5U with
the holes in the middle, which might as well be 2U in terms of space
taken. Even worse, they only have ears (not rails), so I'm a bit
nervous about having empty space between them.
Does anyone have any good solutions? Maybe a different case to put
the ROACHes in that's really 1U? The only think that looks even close
to 1.75 inches high is the CX4 port thing.
