I guess you mean Modcan B series, which is the same form factor as MOTM,
although the panels are physically quite different. Be sure to check
out the ModularSynthPanels Yahoo group:

I had not see the dot com DIY cabinet page before. Although dot com
panels are wider than MOTM, they are the same height, and their walnut
cabinets can be used. I have several. No doubt you could make your own
DIY cabinet for MOTM size panels. It's a popular format with people who
prefer top quality Spectrol/Bourns pots and 1/4" jacks. Those parts and
the panels themselves (especially if you use Front Panel Express) start
pushing up the cost of a module pretty quick. You don't have to use the
most expensive pots and jacks, of course. DIY is all about making your
own choices.
