+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.
