It seems I will be joining the Xited side of the force after all

Hello you lot.
I have a unit here that I'll be testing shortly, and then will be building a new rig, and kitting that machine up.
My main usage in mind will be to explore some of the usages that SpaceF and others have put it to, alongside some of our fave modular bit including Flexor. I still find the real-time usage of Scope to be an advantage in so many ways, but could not trust my PCI cards in mobile format for a while now. So that's exciting! If you'll excuse the awful pun.
I want to make the computer and audio rack (whether the same or separate) vibrationally isolated for road use as well, so I'll be looking at racks in cases that have the requisite internal isolation bits before I do more than a local test experience. I'll need to consider computer rack spacing vs. audio of course as well, and would also enjoy something I can setup and use with ease, and can similarly place back in the studio quickly.
At present, I have a handful of older 3U computer racks in storage from probably a decade ago. I also have a few old battery backups which are massive and heavy, but I can source the replacement batteries for and so they might be worth some road usage. I'm not necessarily sold on using the backup units for too long, so planning a new setup could involve dropping all of that depending on how long it takes me to gather everything.
So I'll document that side of things as Jimmy once did, so that others can have it for reference in other usages that are similar.
In return, I'm also open to a quick primer on what I should learn to get the differences down between Xite and Scope. Some of that will be in the manual, but I'll be needing to play catch-up on the technical issues we have documented here as well. I'm willing to compile as much of this as I can to either here, the site front-end, or both as well in exchange for any help given here.
