Hey Mica-
 
Do y'all recommend (strongly or otherwise) that Alembic rackmount gear be in a certain type of case when traveling as checked baggage?  I'll be potentially taking an F1-X and a DS-5 with me to Santa Fe and need to get a case for them (the Pro Tech bags won't cut it).  I'm trying to decide if it's necessary to upgrade to a shock-mount rack.
 
Thanks!

Shockmounted racks are sure nice, but they are usually much more expensive. Any good quality rack will work fine (we've got a nice wooden one from Bag End that we LOVE).  
We can get an ATA approved rack from the same gentleman that made your flight case if you want a matched set. Maybe we can get the same lock installed on each.

Matching rack...now that would be nice.  I can't buy it right now (so don't go to too much trouble ...), but how much for a 12 space rack matching the flight case you folks had made for my Series II?

Hey Simon - Check out http://www.asacase.com  This is the guy that makes the road cases for Mica (at least he did mine).  You can get a good idea of the pricing for standard configurations.
