Well I was thinking you'd want to keep the front panel intact so you 
wouldn't have to rework everything.  Today I saw a website of a guy who 
rackmounted an Atari 2600.  It's here:  
http://www.manipulate.net/skan/noizspike.html

Seems to me you'd have to do something like that, though probably in a 
2-space rack unit to accomodate the panel.  I guess it's a bit more 
complicated than it first seems as you have to install new connectors, etc.  
I guess if you wanted to go the quick and dirty route you could take the 
bottom of the original case, with the circuit board attatched 
(well...assuming it's attatched to the bottom of the case- I don't have a 
CZ-101 so I don't know) and epoxy it to the bottom of the rack box.

>>If you were careful about the design you could even get rid of the wall
wart...

>Well, I'd prefer to follow someone else's plans.  Anyone have any ideas?

This probably isn't the best idea but you could glue a wall wart inside the 
rack case and have an extention cord coming out the back :)
