Currently I have one of my motm 900's mounted on the back-rightside
(viewing from the front) in a 10" deep cabinet. The 900 is mounted (using
the original holes in the 900) to steel shelving rails (the rails that are
attached to walls with snap-in shelf brackets), with the rails screwed
into 2 of the 4"X1" rear cabinet braces set off by 1/2" metal spacers.
∗∗∗∗∗You should be careful though. If you cannot see the switch, ...
behind your cabinet and need to 'feel around' to find the 900 switch,
then this setup is probably not a good idea.∗∗∗∗∗

[I think we need a 1U panel with switch and fuse (optionally, AC power
cord socket) for power units mounted internally to cabinets {I'm trying to
'encourage' someone in particular :-) }].
