Yes. But for the MOTM system it's the standard 19" vertical rack rails 
on each side of the case. The two horizontal rails simply bolt onto the 
vertical ones.

For MU dotcom you can use a special rack frame to fit into a 19" rack case:

For wooden cabinets the modules are usually screwed to a wooden 1/2" 
high strip mounted within case directly. Metal rack rails, like the Moog 
style ones, may still be available.
