Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Well, my little MOTM is growing, and I am not yet ready to build a
Case-o-Doom to house it. My system is still sitting in a 12 space 19"
rack. The part that has been a bummer is that 3 unit wide power
supply. I know many of your have mounted your power supplies in other
ways. My rack was scrounged from what I had on hand, and the only
thing available was an open back 12 space effects rack.

After some thinking, I decided to use one of the 2 empty rack spaces
at the bottom for my power supply, and the other for a Lexicon Vortex
that is currently a guardian of the dust in my closet.

It turns out that you buy a blank 1u panel cheaply, and with a small
amout of work get everything mounted nicely. There was space left
over for several jacks, which I use for the input, output and control
signals for the Vortex. It is much more handy to have them on the
front panel where they can be easily patched into the rest of the
modular.

Just some thoughts and encouragement to experiment.
