I built mine from a layout on Tom Uban’s site: http://www.ubanproductions.com/museum.html <http://www.ubanproductions.com/museum.html>.  I have found the single long board form factor convenient, but they don’t have nice light dividers and overlays like Guy’s.

Agreed that at least one of these, as well as a hex extender card, are absolutely essential if you need to debug CPU/MMU/FPU cards (which, given their age, is nearly guaranteed unless you are getting them pre-checked/repaired from another restorer.)
