Genz Benz Streamliner Rack-Mount?

I sent a message to Genz Benz inquiring about this, and according to Jeff Genzler the rackmount kit is supposed to come out sometime in May. I hope that's an accurate timetable because I went ahead and bought the Streamliner 900 (KILLER amp!) and I want to replace the GBE-600 in my rack with it. The GBE will become my practice studio rig so I'm not carting stuff back and forth from the gear trailer before and after every gig.
 
we'll have them at the shop next week. I just established pricing and model number today:
STM-RK
Retail: $99.00

Most "accessories" like this, we will sell direct for retail, since most dealers don't want to carry it (there is very little margin for everyone involved).

If you can find a dealer to bring one in for you, you can work the price out with them.
 
here's the best pic I have at the moment. The head attaches via the screw holes for the feet.

Maybe I'm not a typical rack user, or maybe these heads arent really designed to be rack mounted, but why is the power switch on the back? Does everyone have a main rack kill switch like on the power supply (Furman) or something? Sorry for the newbish question and thread stealing...

Yes, I usually plug all into a Furman power conditioner and switch on from there. Yeah, I think the initial design was not intended to be a rack mount unit. I decided to rack mount because after gigs the small case I have been keeping my light weight heads is small and easily swiped. So i figure in a 4 space rack its a little safer. Plus I have a power conditioner and rack mount tuner sitting idle that i would like to use.
