DIY Apex setup?

Going to be building a new stand soon and was wondering what kind of space/room is used with an Apex and all of its components. Would it be best to create a couple shelfs, or flat panels, etc? I know I recall seeing the little 'modules' being 4-5"x2-3"x1-2", or something close? If anyone has some pics of how they have everything tucked away, that'd be great. Go ahead, SHOW IT OFF!! :) :) :)
 
I would say for almost all the add ons you will need 10"x 16" only reason for 10" is for the dc8 (plug in center). I mounted mine on the support post for the stand. Will get some pictures tomorrow.

The EB8 does take up quite a bit of space, I have mine mounted on the side of the stand that I built. The size of that area is roughly 12"x28"x3". Razor blade shown should give you an idea. Below you may barely see it behind all the plugs, lol. I also mounted the other thingy above the sump onto the 2x4 and the controller is on the wall.

Mine could be more tidy, to be sure. The electronics are screwed to a board, and the plugs are behind it.

It can always be better, in my opinion. :) Lindsey should post her Apex setup that she shared that the meeting. It was a good method too.

The plugs below are for all the LEDs ran off one plug on the dc8
