Something I did that makes life easier: I mounted a Neutrik double-female (passthrough) Ethercon connector on a vent module, and connected that to the back of the Sensor+ control module. That way I can connect a PC to the rack in an instant, instead of having to kill power to the entire hall so I can reach in to connect to the control module.

DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE CERTIFIED BY ETC. Doing something like this can violate your warranty. Plus - you can be killed if you dig in to a rack and don't know what you are doing.
SO DO NOT DO THIS.
Try eBay. A year or two ago I got some dimmer modules for $150 each. You might have to be patient though.

I heartily agree with jmabray you shouldn't do this for many reasons. ETC makes a Snesor+ NetBox which is basically a hub in a box where every rack gets connected. If you don't have one, I am sure that you can get one. This will ensure that all the connections are safe, and you are using the right tool for the job. There are so many things that could go wrong by just adding user parts to your dimmer racks, so please DO NOT DO THIS.
Please note that I am in no way related to ETC and the views expressed are my own, given solely in the interest of safety.
I dont know how we got so off topic by talking about the CEM's. I personally use the CC20 modules in installs. You are correct you just turn off the breakers and pull the D20 module out and pop in the CC20 module. I dont like using relay control because if you accidenlty turn off the power to the movers its not fun to wait for them to lamp back on again, especially when its in the middle of a show. Also the ability to turn off the movers by flipping off the breakers keeps people who you dont want playing with them from playing with them.
