I think Moe has the best idea in cabinet size and style -- 18U wide by 4 MOTM 
rows. I seem to remember he came to this conclusion as it was about as big as 
he could "easily" move. I had asked Larry about looking into something like 
this shape when he first started talking about cabinet kits. 

I remember Mr. T had mentioned several years ago the advantage of the Moog 
IIIp style (which I think are about 12U wide). I wasn't convinced since it 
wouldn't be much better than a few racks, but I know think the 18U size would 
be a good width for my arms.
