[sdiy] DIY ManCave

[aankrom]

I took apart an Kimball organ and decided the wood was so nice, it'd 
make a pretty good synth rack. I almost wish I left the pedal board in 
place and made a CGS pedal controller out of it to have handy for other 
synths. The place below the manuals is going to be a double or triple 
wide 19" rack space. Right now it's just a workbench so I can organize a 
couple of my other workbenches. Not exactly what you're doing, but it 
made me think of it...
