18U by 4 rows may be toolarge – about 100 pounds fully loaded. Think how long you’ll be out of synthesizing commission if you geta hernia. Try 18U by 3 rows if you want something that can be easily moved. Total weight using ¾” birch plywoodwould be around 75 pounds. At least, that’s what my calculations come outtoo. My cabinet is too, err, cumbersometo move to a scale right now.

I think Moe has the best idea in cabinet size and style -- 18U wide by4 MOTM rows. I seem to remember he came to this conclusion as it was about asbig as he could "easily" move. I had asked Larry about looking intosomething 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 IIIpstyle (which I think are about 12U wide). I wasn't convinced since it wouldn'tbe much better than a few racks, but I know think the 18U size would be a goodwidth for my arms.
