Regarding SKB popup cases, there are two brackets in the back used as ledges for when the rack is folded down. These brackets will scrape against the deeper 4 inch chassis that STS prefers to use. SKB modification requires cutting these brackets lengthwise so they don’t obstruct the deeper Serge chassis.
Also as mentioned mounting the power distribution board somewhere is a good idea.

Subject: Re: [SergeModular] Re:
SKB case?
Hey, i dont even have any serge stuff at all (i lurk on many lists for technique though) but i do have a couple of other modulars on skb pop-up mixer cases.
Appart from the (aproximatly) 5" depth limits, theres also a problem at the back/top of the case, where there are brackets that hold the case rack frame when its folded down.
Check Larry's (Stooge) page for some relevent info, better then i could explain. Your looking for the paragraph that says
"Cutouts in the back and optional top allow the case back to just clear the internal tabs so the SKB case can close with the back attached. "
As i say, i have no serge, but 3 pop up mixer cases, housing doefper, a.solutions, efm and oakley modules.
These are the only issues that i can guess at.
Cheers, Julian
