Hmmmm. What do you mean - rack mount unit??? The Show Designer IS a rack mount unit (standard 19" - 3 space). Are you talking about a rack mount case for the Show Designer???
if you are talking about a rackmount case, those are readily avaible. almost all music stores will have them because they are not only for lighting

How about this "Billy D", quote: Please post a question ONLY if you care to participate in a FORUM!
Your question makes little sense and I was only trying to understand what "unit" you were asking about. I own a Show Designer and would be interested in any new equipment/device made for the Show Designer too. Pardon us for disturbing your sacred post.
Oh yeah, Thanx

Billy we do not allow posting prices that's why I edited your post. The Drive has no ETA yet.

Thats pretty good. You pretty much nailed it. Although you forgot the 5 pin MIDI IN and 5 pin MIDI out under the connectors. The intention of these connectors is to be able to back up other controllers which use MIDI ports for back up.
The unit will not be available for another 45-60 days. So currently no one has it in stock.
This unit makes backing up shows and sharing shows much easier.
Also it will be introduced under the LSC name.

one more thing you CAN backup and share your shows now by using a SD-Cable and your computer or lap top
thanks john.
Thanks Billy D (and Mandinga!) for the post. I gotta get me one of these! I see in my future my Designer, this new drive, a slide out keyboard/trackball - all in one 6 space rack!!! What a set-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
i wish i had money to be cool like you guys! well, i guess my dmx operator is gonna have to do me good for a longggg longgg time. Hey? i was looking at a board at some pro stage show and i noticed it had a 5 pin dmx in and out. What is it for? (please be patient with me, im only a boy, and want to know everything)
well the 5 pin dmx is just another way of connecting intelligents. some lights use 3pin some use 5pin.
most companies we will ever see will have 3pin. but some of the bigger boys use 5pin.
understand?
I ask that cause I dont know if i put it in good english...lol...im tired

Five pin XLR connector started out as the official connector for DMX, the three pin XLR connector has always been the standard in the U.S.A. and is quickly becoming the the most popular everywhere.
Both connectors do the same thing. Pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = negative signal, pin 3 = positive signal. On five pin XLR connectors, pin # 4 and #5 are usually not used.
