FWIW, I'm planning a short or ultra-short 2U rackmount chassis.

For me it'll go into my existing ready-for-the-road Gator flightcase setup, but the same could go into a 2U flight case. A 1U is feasible, but less flexible and more noisy. Increasing the flightcase to 4U would allow plenty of space inside to package screen, keyboard, mouse into a comfortably portable unit. My screen (touch-screen) is actually bigger than the rack, but stores glass side to a ply board, for protection, on the case top.

This definitely wouldn't suit everyone, but it may give food for thought.
