Hey Wayne,

Glad you like the renderings. This is one of the most enjoyable projects
I've ever worked on. The uber-rack has become known as the "C-Monster"
because of it's size and the shape of the side panels. I kind of like
"Uber-rack" too. It actually has 70 single-width modules (!), 13
double-width, and 4 Miltons (6x width). Note that it basically dwarves the
double manual 8-octave keyboard sitting below. It's mostly loaded with
Cyndustries stuff, but there are also several Modcan modules in there. Maybe
we should have a contest: first person who can correctly identify all the
modules in the C-Monster gets a free pack of gum or a coffee mug :) (what,
you were expecting a free Miata or something? I'm a synth geek so all my
spare money goes to noisemakers and alimony...)

I'm still adding details to the C-Monster and working on some other
concepts, so there should be even more neat stuff in the future.
