Thank you!Very cool picture.
Is that a standard 19" rack? If so, then it is possible to get racks larger than 48U( think 52 off the shelf?). Of course then weight becomes a serious issue, and honestly that thing looks cooler in 2 racks anyway.
At home I put a 32U rack on top of a custom-made cabinet because I don't like to bend over.
Yes, they're standard 19" racks, but I wouldn't want to put it in different ones, since these are the original DEC racks it was installed in. They're not H960s, but they are DEC-made. They're similar to the racks used with the PDP-5, but painted black instead of blue.
(My PDP-8 was almost certainly installed in the same lab as a PDP-5, which is likely why it has PDP-5-like trim)
