I am thinking about building a cabinet (or separate cabinets) for 4 X
19"rack rows of MOTM size modules.

I would like to have AC power connected to the rear of the cabinet,
with the power switch on the front. Is this possible?

Does everyone mount the MOTM power supply on the rear panel? I don't
like the idea of a rear mounted power switch, or the power cable
connected to the front.

Should I use the Synthesizers.com power system, which provides
separate panels for AC input and power switch, and then has separate
power supply. Will this work with the MOTM modules?

Will the synthesizers.com power panel fit neatly onto the MOTM 19"
rack rails along with the MOTM modules.

Are there other options for cabinet power?

How close can/should modules be mounted to the power supply? Are
there interference/noise problems if they are too close?

Are there heat problems with the power supply mounted inside the
cabinet, or with modules that are next to the power supply?
