There is a decent youtube video that explains the gist.
In short, enable Spatial in the config (disabled by default in FTB), border the area with Spatial Pylons all connected to your network, attach a Spatial IO to your network, toss in a Spatial Storage of the appropriate size, and attach enough Energy Cells to power it. Then apply redstone to the Spatial IO.
The biggest issue I'm running into is that most mod items are not supported. Each mod has to implement the AE API for their blocks to be effected by the storage. However, mod blocks stored in vanilla chests do just fine.

Very large trees (and odd shaped) all over the place, leads to a lot more leaf decay calculations not as much an issue now but some systems will still struggle with it.
There's also the matter of tons of extra lighting/particle effects in TF. Little balls of light are always drifting about.

+10 internets for you
There are dangers.
When I was first experimenting with this I decided to launch a space probe into the ME system. So, ExtraUtils redstone clock, a chunkloader, and a wireless transmitter. If the receiver still beeps from the other side the probe will be successful.
Hit the button aaand... the world literally deleted itself. The creative testing world stopped existing, forever.
Further testing showed that wireless redstone and chunkloaders and many other things with tile entities fail to make the jump to ME space at all. The clock was what led to the world self-deletion.
Send only blocks and entities. Never send anything complex. If you send yourself into ME space but manage to escape the transparent box using enderpearls, you get a free unique void age that is still accessible via linking book even if the original spatial storage disk is lost or destroyed. Building there is safe. It also snows in ME space, although the complete lack of terrain and sky is inconvenient.
lol.
I see it making a decent jail, delete the persons inventory, teleport them into the pylon area, store it, set their spawnpoint in that dimension, and trash the disk.
tada!
it alternates stuff that's inside. if somethings inside your pylon area, it gets deleted, but comes back when you store the contents again.
I like that it store the state of a furnace and items on the ground as well.
the 16^3 is awesome for packing up a early-midgame house if you dump all the mod blocks into a vanilla chest, possibly using strongboxes to help out.
If you travel with whatever you stored, do you emerge w/ that, or just the blank cube?
I think it would be awesome if two things happened:
1) if you traveled in a 15^3, your box is 15^3, and contains the storage contents. no editing the contents though.
2) if the dimension was fleshed out (as long as the drive is in and the network powered of course) into something resembling the inside of a computer.
and how much power would you need for a full size 128 cube, assuming minimum pylons and max pylons?
I figured out that, at the end, AE spatial storage isn't great for what I want. I can get almost the same effect from a bunch of Strongboxes and NEI inventory saving. Building the SCS in the new world is about as much effort as building the base! Wish there was an AE Creative Energy Cell to make that easier.

Don't forget about qCraft. Those quantum linked computers can teleport an area of 8^3 from my understanding. It is considerably cheaper and easier to deploy/power. I think I will begin building my base into 8^3 modules that only need a few connections made once they are teleported. That reminds me, I should check to see if there is a config option to make this larger. Teleport all the things
I'll look into it. I'm entertained by the idea of starting a wishlist custom pack server and handing them out as starting bases.Don't forget about qCraft.

How do I make Cloud half slabs using Forge Multipart. I've tried the ruby hand saw but its not working. I see them in NEI so there must be a way?
Try one of the other saws probably the TiC saw is the one you want since afaik it adds the clouds in the first place, if you have WAILA look for the one in NEI that has Tinkers Construct in the mod area.
Edit:
Ok so it's BoP clouds they are found in the Promised Land so you need the portal open looks like.
Another potential way is to use Carpenters blocks
If you make a carpenters slab, then apply a cloud to it, it should have a similar if not the same effect you were afterwards (although it will be transparent to light)
just add the ID and meta data to the forge multipart config it works with almost any block
