If we are gonna start expansion boxes, how about:

the expansion chassis can be fitted to either or both sides of the original
box, and held on by clips, so no cables are needed.  If space is tight, place
the expansion chassis to one side, and use an extension cable.  Make expansion
chassis available in both 3 and 5 slot versions, giving expansion capabilities
of 3, 5,6,8, and 10 slots.  Option of plexi front and/or top panels so we can
check the contents easily.  Maybe the chassis has a place to put a paper
identifying the contents of the slot, so we can assess the chassis used by
others quickly.
The idea is very appealing, but lets think it through for user compatability
before we get some plain metal box with limited usefulness foisted on us, AS WE
HAVE HAD IN THE PAST!!!
