I played around with a FrontPanelExpress design and moved the
switches by each of the controls ala MOTM-190 style. Then I
arranged each vertical column of jacks as a channel with the
LEDs at the top.
It all fits. I uploaded the file as "1U MOTM-700.fpd". The cost is
over $50 which is pretty spendy for saving 1U of real estate. We all
know you can't save real estate ... your system will continue to
expand until you have to put an addition on your house.
My first cabinet was a 20U vertical rack. I didn't even receive all
of my modules before it was hopelessly too small! I added another
10U extension on top and this lasted <6 months before I gave
up and built a three tier 24U (e.g. 72U total) cabinet. I've already
run out and am reusing my 10U extension and trying to figure out
where to add my side wings now! Give up on this real estate
dream and hire the architects now for your studio addition! Ever
heard of the TONTO syndrome?
