Re: [Doepfer_a100] Monster cases - stacked - how many is too much weight?

2013-08-09 by James Husted

If you are reaching that height you might as well go rack mounted and get some good rack towers to put things in. It makes it a lot harder to steal too. My rig is 4 A-100P6 boxes stacked 2x2 and that is about as tall as I would want to do - go wider and get a rolling chair.
