The system you are reffering to is mine.
The cabinet is 34 U wide by 5 modules wide for a total of 170U.
BTW, I'm going to redo the whole cabinet setup.
I'm going to go to multiple smaller cabinets.
The existing system weighs over 400 pounds and is too unwieldy.
The top row is also a little too high, even for me (I'm 6' 5")
I'm also out of space, (Yes I know, overkill)
I will be building new cabinets soon.
I'm still unsure whether to go with Stooge Larry style cabinets, or 
Stooge Moe style cabinets.  If I build Synth of Doom style cabinets, 
I'll probably go with four cabinets each 18U wide by 4 rows.
If I build the more conventional Stooge Larry type cabinets I'll 
probably build 4 cabinets 30U x 2 rows.
You just can't have to many modules.

My 18U wide by 3 row high cabinet, made from 3/4 inch birch plywood, is
somewhere in the 70-90 pound range fully loaded with modules.  I think an
18U by 4 row cabinet is pushing the extremes of what one person could move
without risking back injury.  Just something to consider...
