The more I think about it, a 40U rack case isn't
such a good idea. It's too big to be portable. The Sentinel
theme doesn't work either, as its proportions are 1:4:9. So I'm
thinking two or more smaller rack cases would be better.
I think Moe has the best idea in cabinet size and style -- 18U wide by 4 MOTM rows. I seem to remember he came to this conclusion as it was about as big as he could "easily" move. I had asked Larry about looking into something like this shape when he first started talking about cabinet kits.
I remember Mr. T had mentioned several years ago the advantage of the Moog IIIp style (which I think are about 12U wide). I wasn't convinced since it wouldn't be much better than a few racks, but I know think the 18U size would be a good width for my arms.
