Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Hi,

While waiting for the motm MOTM to arrive I'll be having loads of
time to think about a nice cabinet.

I see that the original MOTM rails are 19" wide. But I'll be building
my own cabinet anyway, and somehow a bit wider looks better to me.
For example, the 48" wide synthesizers.com cabinets look good to me.

Also, what is a good depth? The synthesizers.com is 8.5" I see.

What do you generally do? Are there any widths (except 19") and
depths that can be considered 'standard'?

Do you always use rails to mount the modules, or is wood okay too?

Is any cooling needed? I'll probably get a 40 or 60 W Power-One
linear supply. With an efficiency of about 50%, that is a lot of heat
to get rid of. I've read on these lists that they are used by other
people too, with good results. Are those also used in the original
MOTM power supplies?

With kind regards,
Ben
