Cool. I look forward to hearing the report. :)

Walnut".

It is kind of hard to tell from the small samples. I would think dark
walnut would be pretty dark on a wood like pine.

> Larry, how deep is the new walnut cabinet Paul used at NAMM 2003?

The straight cabinet is 10" deep. For comparison, dot com are 8 1/2" and my
personal cabinets are 11.5". 10' seems quite nice. I have never actually
had a 900 power supply in my hands (cough, cough), so I cannot comment on if
10" would be deep enough to allow the power supply on the back. I guess it
depends on the recess of the front rack rails. 10" was plenty deep to have
the power supply mounted inside and put a MOTM size module in front of it.
However, Blacet and other deep brackets sized modules could not go in front
of the power supply in the 10" deep cabinet.

> My MOTM gear will definitely will be going into a Stooge Enterprises solid
walnut cabinet kit (if they come to pass).

The first "test kit" is being built as we type. :)
