Doepfer

I don't know what all the fuss is about - I have a big system with 
nearly a hundred modules - there's not a single metal mounting strip, 
nor nut & bolt in the whole system. They are mounted direct to thin 
but broad horizontal softwood dividers with small philips wood screws.
The power suppliers (five of them) are all mounted on a hinged panel 
behind and it can be swung open like a door for access.
