Nice work!
I want to build a cabinet too, although I still am contemplating rackmounting as I still have 
a rack laying around, but wood is so much nicer.The integrated keyboard is a neat idea, I 
was about to ask what king of keyboard you are using etc, but I see that the company who 
made it , is out of business.
Nevermind, I would have been interested in a CV keyboard, but as I have a 650 on order, 
I'll use a midi board instead.
