Whats this obession with handles that stick out on the side? Surely thats a good thing isn't it? Its called air flow for cooling, also provides space to get your hands in to remove, rearrange or reach cables etc. When I get a new piece of gear the last thing I want to do is having to dismantle most of the stack(s) to be able to slot in the new piece in the optimum position in relation to the rest of the gear. Those spaces/gaps allow me to get to the particular stack that I want to work on with the new gear directly without disturbing the rest of the kit. :-//

It's how you get an ovenized DMM without an actual oven. ;D

And you get deafened by all the cooling fans spooling up to force cool the equipment which is not being used, just sitting there idling waiting for its turn to come. :-DD

Some designers have thought of that scenario and put stackable horns that protrude slightly over the side and therefore provide an unrestricted airflow path gear stacked side by side. :)

So you have protrusions that make the item wider then it would be without the protruding horns or handles, much the same thing then, taking up space :-//
