Some manufacturing information can be found by reading Liam's posts.
Cliff: "The Axe-Fx II is a no-compromise product and that is reflected in the price. Most, if not all, manufacturers use, for example, TL074 op-amps for the analog I/O. Those are inexpensive, quad, FET input op-amps with okay performance. They cost about a ten cents each. We use high-end Analog Devices products that cost about a dollar for a dual. These are reference-grade amps. We use film capacitors where possible in critical signal path locations. Again, much more expensive but reference-grade performance. The A/D and D/A converters are reference-grade. Even the circuit board has gold-plated pads as compared to tin." Source

The Axe-Fx II is a 19” 2U device. It can be mounted in a rack or rackbag. If necessary combined with things like a racked power amp, a power conditioner etc. Rear rack rails are not required or supported. It's about two inches deeper than the Standard and Ultra (see Specifications).
If you need a custom rack panel to bring the outputs to the front, see this thread.
The rack ears at the front are removable if you need the space. Source
You can put the rack or bag on a stand such as this one or this one.
Cliff: "From the rack ears to the back of the chassis is only 13". You should allot a couple inches for plugs and cables though." Source

Units with CC numbers were assembled by Cliff himself. The 5 numbers are an internal work order number. The XX indicate the batch number and the #X indicates what unit from that lot was produced. This shows who built and inspected each unit prior to going to Fractal for final inspection and burn-in. L or LF indicate the units that were built lead-free (CC#s are also lead free), and the motherboard will have an e1/e1 sticker as well. Source1 Source2
