But many have wished that Moog would actually release new 5U synth modules or at least release MoogerFooger modules.
GearMedia’s Mike Beard is working on a DIY project to fill that gap, GIMP (GearMedia Moogerfooger Panel). At this point, he’s working on panels to prototype the conversions.
Synthesizers.com has introduced a new cabinet style for 5U modular synthesizers, the Desktop Box 11.

These videos, by RichyHo, demos his multi-format modular synthesizer rack planner, described as a work in progress:
An overview of the features and functionality of my multi-format modular synthesizer rack planner (as at v. 1.12 – currently a work-in-progress and not yet released). I forgot to demo dragging modules between racks (they retain their patched commections) and ‘dynamic bolts’ (but if you watch carefully in the euro rack you might see bolts appear/disappear as modules are dragged around).
Here’s something for the 5U modular synthesizer fans – Rob Hordijk explains his synth module designs at the European Electro Music Event 2012 in Mallorca, Spain.
