Well, it worked for Joe Walsh's system :)

You can fit the modules across perfectly with 2 of Larry's end brackets (1 on each end). It is a
tight fit, but it will work. The main issue is the fitting of the 'vertical'. You have to be
∗VERY CAREFUL∗ drilling the pilot holes for the screws. The reason is that the MOTM corner
mounting holes are "too close" to the edges of the stringer bar. I drilled at a slight angle so
that I would not crack/split the wood.

In order to do it properly, you should put in a full row in FIRST (layed in place). Use a Sharpie
pen to place a 'dot' in the CENTER of each hole. In a double high cabinet (the 44 .com one), do
the BOTTOM ROW FIRST, with the modules "bottom justified".

Then, remove and use a NEW drill bit, about 3/64" dia.

On the rear, there is a cutout for 4 .com modules. I bought his "AC Input Module" for like $75
and 3 blank panels for like $8. It has the fuse holder/switch, etc. The Power One just screws
into the bottom. I installed 2 MOTM-960s. This way all modules can use PWR-20 cables. Be SURE the
Power One is on standoffs! Bolting it directly to the wood is, as we say in engineering, a BAD
IDEA.

The cabinet is great! He charges $50 for a full packing kit: custom box, plywood inserts, bubble
wrap and peanuts. Worth every penny.

The secret is: TAKE YOUR TIME. It took me about 3 hours to mark, drill, and install the modules.
