Thank you.

Would these Suitcase measures apply to the Half Monster Case too?
"inside usable depth for A-100 modules: approx. 80 mm in the power 
supply area (bottom right), resp. approx. 100 mm in the remaining 
area (measured from inner side of the front panel until end of the pc 
board of the module)"

My Plan B M15 VCO is 103mm deep... Maybe I it goes into the upper row 
of the Monster Base? Has anyone tried M15 in a Suitcase or Monster 
Case?
