Does anyone have any experience with any of the pre-built rackmount chassis "kits", for building 16S LiFePO4 rackmount systems with separately supplied cells?
For example, here's an attractive looking one on AliExpress:

It looks like a pretty comprehensive solution for a clean mounting/cabling/BMS setup, and seems like it would still save you a tremendous amount of money compared to the off-the-shelf rackmount systems. My back of the envelope calculation is something like $2300 for 16x 280Ah/304Ah batteries + $500 for the complete chassis and BMS, vs $4500 for and equivalent 3x 5kW chassis from someone like EG4.
