The largest analog console I had inventory was a PM3500-48+4. Took six big guys to get it deployed safely.  This was accompanied by two or three outboard racks and a 500 lb, 30x30x30 cube of 300 ft 52+12+10/4 AC snake.  All in all I'm pretty good with my 72 channel CL5, to RIO boxes and my 15 lbs reel of 100 meter fiber - even carrying around that airspace.   :P ;D

Why haven't the console manufacturers also embraced this need? Trucking around unnecessary airspace sucks.

not +1, but + infinity.
Who the hell misses 500lb boards, and all the gack that goes with them ?
I was at the Solotech store late last year, and sales dude tried to set me up with a PM4K tour pack. $3.000 delivered to my shop.
Ya right. No thanks dude. I'm over 55 now, think I want to huff that monstrosity around ??

Ya, Whatever. Just throw a '57 on it, and get off my stage.

Still smells of "good enough/close enough".

My vote is for a nose cone.  I prefer having a nose cone on any console that merits castors on the case.  Makes the case easier to handle and lighter to tip.  All of our CL consoles have nose cone style cases.  We also put a couple of small 2u Rack bays below the console for a drawer, FOH Dante Switches or CD player.  See below photos.

Great pics, Adam.  Thanks for the ideas.

Question on your network switches--do you leave them installed in the rack bays of your CL5 case?  If you leave them installed, how do you access the RJ-45 ports?  I am trying to figure out if I want a primary and/or redundant switch to live in the doghouse, under the console as you described, or in a separate rack...

Each CL5 has a primary and secondary switch permanently mounted in the case below the desk.  These connect through to an Ethercon patch panel in the doghouse.  I have a couple of desks in the warehouse tomorrow for pre-show so will get some photos for you!
