Norman,

Very nice!  Is that 3/4" wood you're working with?  I have some spare 3/4"
oak and birch from a desk project, but was hesitant to build a modular
case out of it because of weight concerns.  Then again, heavier = harder
to steal, and at this point I'll be building a cabinet that can hold 12
300 series (on order) and 6-8 rows of Frac (in house and taking over).

Anyhow, nice work!  

regards,
Paul
