MOTM

I’m still thinking about the cabinet design. I’ve read a too many  
stories of people who build a box and outgrow it within a few months,  
and have to build another to stack on top. Since I’m planning to put  
mine on the top of an A-frame stand (in earthquake country), I’d  
prefer not to do any stacking. Some people have said that 24 or 26u is  
too wide and they prefer 20u, but I thought 24u was a good compromise  
so I don’t need to go three rows high in the future.

This morning I cut up a box to scale, took a photo and Photoshopped a  
planned system together to see what it looks like:

It does look pretty tall. Maybe the modular should go on the bottom? I  
could make a slanted Moog 55-style cabinet and access it that way. I  
should start receiving MOTM parts tomorrow, but my organic solder  
won’t show up until Jan 2nd. I’ll have to fight the temptation to  
start building modules with the old-fashioned solder.
