Guess the title says it all. It seems that so many new projects served up seem to follow the 500 series craze. Its clear that not having to make psu's for each unit has benefits along with other good things that 500 series modules offer - but I wonder whether rackmount stuff is going to be like owning a VCR when everyone has DVD/Blu Rays.
Theoretically this board is a celebration of building old faithful units that are not based on trends or fashions, but I wonder whether rackmount DIY will be viewed as a disonsaur design.
For example, I was thinking of a building an API clone. It seems all of the white market offerings (yes please dont yell at me or make me feel bad for wanting to buy a kit - I promise to learn as much as I can and not view the process as merely paint by numbers.....) are of 500 series ilk. I happen to like my rack trolley and want a new pre to sit with my other gear.
