He's built or modified a eurorack.  A stock G6 Doepfer rack is about twice as deep as will 
fit in one of them. I'm sorry I don't have time to measure. I'm near certain it will not fit 
stock Analogue Solutions cases either .

Yes, I have one of them for my Fenix, but it's a fairly shallow synth (5", 120mm). I agree 
those cases have some very annoying build details but there are few alternatives for a 
Fenix (the chassis width requires narrower rack rails than standard rack specs specify).
I've heard lots of complaints about transport issues with the latches and lowering the 
angled rack back in can be a headache due to the mechanism.  Anyway those SKB cases 
will fit things like Serge Modules, nearly all Buchla and might be fine with the Cwejman 
case (every module I've seen is like an inch deep because of the boards being parallel to 
the panels.  I know Frac Racks are too deep because I wanted to fill some space in my

From my memory the original Plan B Model 15 VCO sticks in my mind as the deepest 
module for a Eurorack I've seen


I don't think there are too many modules that are over deep from Doepfer, but it depends 
what your clearance is when the chassis/rack holding them is done. Remember the power 
bus needs room too. Unless you put your power outside the case that would be a factor.
