+1, i used same screws from fm3 for fm9 and only 4 corners worked great!I checked with Fractal regarding the 16mm screws I used and was told that as long as I stuck to the 4 corners the it should be no issue.

What size board is this??
I got it done locally... (In Hong Kong though )Hey! Where did you get the custom foam? Sorry if you already answered this.
I think it is a Temple Duo 34.What size board is this??
What's with those knobs? Are those LED rings or just bright plastic?Just a few pictures showing, my long awaited FX 9. and my appreciation for and the TEAM at Fractal Audio

Looks great but the H9 really looks out of place.. update us, my guess is you don't need the H9 only a FM9 now..My new H9 rig It still fits on top of the music stand I had my FM3 on. Still deciding if I need the H9; gotta get my presets all remade and try to get them sounding the same without the H9, we'll see.

I am very happy with the very inexpensive SOLUTEK toppers. They have rubber inserts that fit snug and the finish matches the FM9's casing:

interesting conceptI’m just using the FM9 for effects and tuning.
I’ve been putting together a simple rig and something funny happened. I like jazz so I have 3 fender amps…and was shaking my head thinking this is not what I want…then I remembered I had a Marshall JTM-45 re-issue head…plugged it into a 50 year old 15” JBL D-130F and voila, great! …didn’t expect it but you never know. The frosting on the cake though is the FM-9 and how easy to set up! Very happy…love the fm9!

God I wish I didn’t see this!Ok, for real now:

This is a dry run of the 2 sections inside my Pelican Vault case (for which I've not yet cut the foam).
Here is the bottom view of the FM9.
I've got a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 being fed by a Temple IEC module. That powers the FM9 and the Audiofront Expression IO that's used for passing expression pedal input via midi to the FM9. The expression pedals are fed thru Temple passthru modules from the other board.
There are 3 momentary normally closed switches wired directly to TS jacks with bare 14g wire (from Romex - great idea from @Joe Bfstplk!) that are cabled to the FM9 with George Ls cables.
There are also 2 USB passthru modules for connecting my computer to the FM9 and Expression IO.
The Pedal Power 2 and Expression IO are attached with small Temple mounting plates. Everything else is directly thru the board:

And the expression pedal board:

Note that I relocated the input jacks on the 2 middle pedals to make 4 fit on the board:

Here's the other variation for the scenario that I decide to use my Axe Fx III - just swap the FM9 board for the FC-12 board.
This one is simpler - only the passthru module for feeding expression pedals into the FC-12:

I would start a fresh thread on this if I were you. Keep us posted regardless. Be interesting to hear your findings. Thanks!My new H9 rig It still fits on top of the music stand I had my FM3 on.

I had one of those for my FM3 rig! After a few firmware updates I found I didn't really need it. With the extra processing power of the FM9 the H9 Dark as cool looking as it is becomes pretty much redundant.My new H9 rig It still fits on top of the music stand I had my FM3 on.
