Here are some measurements I made for a 2 row slanted cabinet (that I 
did not build):

top is 8.5" deep
bottom is 14.75" deep
height is 18"
sloped front is 19.0542" (call it 19")
slope angle is 70.85 degrees (arctan 18/6.25)
if wood is 0.75" thick, panel height is 19 - 1.5 = 17.5, exactly 10U high

If your top panel is 10" deep, then make your bottom panel 16.25" deep.
