Around 4U is the wide of a tower. I guess the mobo and cards only fit to
4U high, even 3U might be to small.
Perhaps a 19" case idea isn't good due to the cooling, OTOH just small
sidewalls (equivalent to a tower's base and top) are surrounded by the
cabinet/rack walls. Above and below the 19" computer case I could keep
many units empty, which also might be needed regarding to shielding
issues, when mounted to an audio cabinet/rack.
