I built my upper cabinets 10" deep and they are fine with a 900 in
the back and regular MOTM modules in front. I just can't put a Time
Machine directly in front of the 900 because the TM is too deep. I
guess this will apply to any module that uses the looooong Stooge
bracket. But all other modules seem to fit fine.
