 That looks Awesome!! Whose ever that is, I'm jealous. 

  If I can ever get to building my cab, I was thinking of the Moog slant 
style cabinet. I wonder how much dust this would accumulate compared to a 
vertical bookcase looking unit? 

  For those that have built thier cabinets in the past, do you have any "wish 
I would have..." thoughts?

 Thanks,
   Andrew

Yes, the slanted faces do accumulate more dust on them compared to 
the vertical faces. But they add so much to the ergonomics and "wow 
factor" that more than makes up for it.

Not yet. Moe has a good cabinet design breakdown:

and I've made some notes about why I built my cabinets the way I did:

For those, like me, that never got an A in woodshop either, about the 
only extra thing I'd recommend is to leave room for error. I added 
1/8" to the inside measurement (vertical and horizontal) for each row 
to account for my slack wood working skills, and I'm sure glad I did. 
Much of that extra bit of space was used up by layers of paint or 
removed while filing/sanding. The final product has small gaps 
between the module rows, about 1/16", but they aren't noticeable. The 
extra space just makes it all the more convenient to get modules in 
and out when you need to rearrange the modules (love those flat 
rails).
