Doepfer

Have you considered getting in touch with Bob at Analogue Systems. He produces 
beautiful wooden cabinets. 

See http://www.analoguesystems.co.uk/rssystems.htm.

I think all his cases are fitted with Doepfer power supplies as standard these days and a 
complete row of Doepfer modules will fit without any gaps. 

I've got an RS8500 cabinet (no Doepfer modules in it yet) and it is a thing of beauty.
