Actually, the biggest consideration for me when choosing Blacet
modules is the actual module depth - a Wiard 1200 series modules has
less than 2 inch depth, making them easy to install into a desktop
chassis. Some Blacet modules, like the mults or dual linear VCA are
not the standard 4 inches depth, so they could be installed in my
cabinet without modification.

Most of the Blacet modules are more of the standard Frac design,
having the circuit board mounted perpendicular to the faceplate
(typically attaching to the front panel via the board mounted pots).
This is no problem when mounting in a typical Frac Rack, which has
plenty of depth to accomodate the modules, but is not convenient for
mounting in a dsektop case.

As a result, I have had to modify several of my Blacet modules,
attaching wiring from the circuit board to the pots and jacks on the
faceplate so that I could remotely mount the ciruit board on the back
of the desktop panel, which allowed me to install these modules into a
shallower case for desktop use.
