Stuart, thanks for your reply. I asked the folks at CRIS and they
confirmed the IP module would not fit in their cabinet.

decision time re the structured wiring. My current thinking is to
adopt the Cris system as I want to keep costs down. However, their
audio setup differs quite a bit from, say, IPHomenet. Cris has
speaker wire to+from in-room volume control with separate IR
receivers connected with cat5. IPHomenet uses cat5 to in-room volume
control which also incorporates IR receiver - which appears neater.
My main question is, can I mix and match? i.e. will the IPHomenet
audio hub fit into the Cris cabinet? A secondary question is, are
both systems pushing the same signal to their respective volume
controls (which both include amplifiers) or are they doing things a
different way?

is 19" if you see what I mean? Because of this I would doubt you
could mount it in a Cris cabinet, that's assuming they are
"standard"
19" rack cabs too.
