I started out with the system by watching this video (and the ones after it). It's a little outdated, but not much.
Quarry Output >> Item Tesseract >> acrosstimeandspace! >> Item Tesseract >> ME Interface block >> cables to me network
I prefer the Item Tesseract because I just put a line of Diamond pipes on it and sort off the junk (cobble, dirt, etc) into Deep Storage, and run my ores through processing prior to dumping them in my ME Network.
I know I could do the same with an Ender chest, but if I never put a wooden transport pipe and redstone engine on another chest it will be too soon.

I got the more power hungry route and feed it all into the ME system and then sort it out. Uses a lot more power that way, but I've got plenty of power so it's not a concern.
You do realise that a ME chest with a 64k storage chip can store ALL items from a 64x64 quarry at normal height 60-70.
So all you need to do is quarry > diamond pipe >> ME chest / Void pipe then take a ME chest, ME controller and a redstone energy cell to power the controller.
Using whatever as a power source, once complete take the 64k chip back to base and throw it into a IO Port and if you're like me with sorted formatted storage chips everything just goes into the correct storage chip/storage bus.

Eh, sure, but what's the fun in that. I enjoy the challenge of making a compact and attractive quarry pre-processing system, and I'd hazard that a good pre-processing system is just as or more space efficient than slapping buses, emitters and interfaces on a bunch of post-processing machines.
Besides, I generally have a quarry running prior to finding enough quartz/etc to make a 64k storage disk, let alone the rest of the network required to export, process, import and store everything via AE.
