I've ordered my MOTM rack rails, and I'm in the process of attempting to
figure out what I want in terms of a cabinet for all of my MOTM gear. I've
checked out custom cabinetry on the Synthtech web site, and got some good
ideas there.

I've also heard from other modular owners that some racks look like a good
idea, but aren't, such as those that are ypically above or beside a mixing
console.

For those of you who have spent hours upon hours in front of your modular
gear, what is the most "comfortable" (or less fatiguing on the back)
position to have your equipment in? I'm leaning toward a floor
mounted/slightly slanted rack that is at chair level so I won't be bending
over, standing up, or leaning over equipment to get at the modular gear.
