Modular Synth Panels

Well, I'll be the first to admit it. I'm a fetishist. Usually the
minute I record something musical, I lose interest and want to fool
around with a different idea.

One of the biggest diy motivators for me was having a variety of
modules from many different designers while avoiding frankensynth
syndrome(which I can't stand); for me everything has to be able to sit
side by side in the same cabinet, run off the same power supply and
have the same jacks. Also, every panel looks exactly how I want it
too(which means the same color)

That said, if I had a eurorack, that still wouldn't be enough to stop
me from buying harvestman(in fact, that's a good enough reason to go
euro in the first place), cwejman and metasonix modules. At least they
could fit in the same cabinet, and being anal like I am, I could
arrange the odd colored ones in different areas so the overall system
is symmetrical or something like that. 

I say go for the yellow too if that's what you want to do.
