+1 to this, though I use a different chassis.

Since I'm relegated to an apartment at the moment, I have a desktop rack
mounted in a closet. My development boards are set on top of the cabinet
with 6-32 1/2" standoffs, which rest on an ESD mat grounded to the rack.
It's small, but gives me about 8U worth of space in cramped quarters.
