Ask Rackmount Ranger: If I already own a slim5 cabinet, can I turn it into an AXS
Question: If I already own a slim5 cabinet, can I buy the pieces necessary to turn it into an AXS?
Answer: The AXS is a slide out system in a host enclosure. The portion that slides in and out is similar to a slim5, but not identical. The parts that are common are the vertical rails only. The remaining parts of the AXS could be purchased separately, but the cost would probably exceed that of just buying the complete AXS system. In addition, the AXS is factory assembled, so trying to retrofit a slim5 into an AXS requires a lot of time and effort.
It is probably not worth the time or the money to attempt to turn a regular slim5 into and AXS system. However, it could be done.
Thanks, The Ranger
