=== Format and Power ===
Rob's modules conform to the [[5U]] [[MU parts|(Moog Unit)]] (222mm / 8.75") standard. Single modules were produced 2U wide, which Rob later refined into a triple-module 6U (325mm / 12.79") wide standard.<ref name="rh" /> A frame holds the modules in a way that it becomes one solid block. A frame can easily be mounted in a DIY cabinet made of just four shelves, it is fixed in a cabinet with a set of woodscrews from within the frame into the side shelves. Frames can be made up to three triples in width (976 mm wide) and basically any number of rows in height (225 mm per row). The most popular frame is two rows of two triples and measures 651 mm in width and 451 mm in height.<ref name="rh" />
The plywood flightcases have their power entry either on the left side or on the right side of the case. This should be specified when ordering. The lightweight flightcase has its power entry on the front and for this it needs the TriLFO-Matrix6x4-Nodeproc-MIDI-IECinlet triple or the Rungler-Matrix6x4-Nodeproc-MIDI-IECinlet triple. It lacks the +/-15V MiniXLR power outlet that is available on the other MIDI triples. The MiniXLR might be used for future expansions, to power e.g. a Blippoobox or for powering DIY projects. It should be considered just a convenience if ever needed and not a necessity.<ref name="rh" />
