[Soekris] Rack case idea

[Brandon R. Bennett]

I've been playing around with an idea to make a modular 19" 2u case for 1-3
soekris 4521.

The 19" case it's self would have 3 spaces on the left hand size to fit 1-3
modules.  On the right it would have 6 rj-45 jacks for PoE.  2 jacks for
each module (data in, date out + power) with a power supply in the back to
power them.  The space where the modules go would be open on the back to
connect N connectors to go to wireless ants

The modules themselves would be 1" high, 6 3/16" deep, and around 11" long
with enough room to easly change out the CF card.  All the standard
connectors will go on the front of the module case (rj45, db-9, power, and
the leds) with pigtails going to 4 type N (two for each wireless card) on
the rear to connect the antanneas.

My questions are:

Is this feasable/reasonable?

Is there anyone (company) that would help design and create these cases?

Is there a market to create these cases for other people wanting to mount
sokris boards in a 19" rack


I have drawn up some quick and dirty diagrams and plans and will post them
to the list once i scan them in.
