Ok, it's cabinet power supply time! There will be three homebrew cabinets in
this setup: lower, middle and upper.

Here's the distribution possibilities:

1) each cabinet has it's own supply
2) power supply(s) in lower cabinet with wiring to other cabinets
3) external power supply box with wiring to each cabinet

and then power choices:

a) one +-15V supply and one 5V supply for 500/600 modules, one larger +-15V
supply for the rest
b) one triple output +-15V and 5V supply for 500/600 (ala 950), and one larger
+-15V supply for the rest
c) one big +-15V supply for all modules and one 5V supply
d) one honkin triple output +-15V and 5V supply for all modules

This looks like a matrix problem to me! So, what's the best solution overall?
2b or not 2b? :) Comments, opinions and plusses/minuses solicited, please!
