Subject: Re: [motm] Re: Who's using 19"-Rack for the Modules?

i also went the nice-rack route.  i'm very happy with them.  i got 2 standard racks, 10 spaces, 12" deep.  i also ended up getting a couple of the slanted racks for regular equipment.  i've been really happy with them.

www.nice-racks.com is a great option. He can build a custom rack for you. He built me a 
custom double 19" rack. Each section 10U high, the rack itself 9" deep (which is more than 
enough for Motm stuff and for some 19" effect processor rack gear).
That's 40U of modules, more than you need maybe. But it's compact and relatively cheap 
compared to other options you have. (cost me $260 shipping included), and has a great 
wood finish. It is pretty heavy though so it's not for gigging or moving around.
Mine has rack rails on both front and rear. That way I can easily close the back with blank 
19" panels.

I can send you a picture if you like.

Hi All,
forgive me if this has been discussed many times:
Since I simply don't find the time to design and eventually build a 
decent wooden cabinet for my MOTM-style modules I'm pondering why not 
someone let build two 19" cases like the many you find on the road 
(redish/brownish plywood with aluminum frame, butterfly locks, a pair of 
handels, etc.).
I'm thinking of something rather slim yet simple for three rows of 
modules each plus 3U for additional stuff like FX or multiples (i.e. 18U 
of height).

Who's using that in a similar way and what are the pros and cons?
What's the inner depth (clearance) your cabinets have?

Anything else I have to think of?

Thanks a lot, :-)   Michael.
