Hi all,

I wish I had a camera.... I have just finished my top box. One row 16U
wide. I made a four way power bus that runs the length of the box at the
rear panel. Each bus bar is made with solid core copper wire stripped
from 20A mains cable. It is held in place by five bits of wood screwed
to the back panel. Each piece of wood has four holes through which the
cores run. The cores are separated by about 2cm and the tension holds
them apart. Each MOTM power lead (25cm) is then soldered directly onto
the buss, with the molex/MTA connector at just one end. Each 2U bay has
one or two power plugs. Just in case there is a little voltage drop
along the lines the VCOs are down in the bottom box, which is where the
power supply lives. I used a four pole speakon connector, which is very
big but looks the part, to connect the two boxes together.
