I have four cabinets, each with their own power supply. I daisy
chain the AC power from a single front panel switch.
I mounted the power supply in the center of the cabinet on 1" risers
as far to the back as possible. I put a distribution board on
either side of the cabinet so I can use the shorter cables to reach
any position within the cabinet. I have to use my shorter modules
in the center to allow room for the power supply. That isn't an
issue with the MOTM modules but is with Blacet which tend to be
deeper. The two power distribution boards per cabinet did add extra
dollars to my setup but I wanted to keep the power cables short and
fairly clean.

http://www.modularsynthesis.com/cabinet/cabinet.htmThe front mounted module is a AC power switch, cable tester, and
headphone amp. The rear mounted module is my AC mains with AC in
and switched AC out. Each of the slave modules just daisy chain
these connectors. I also mounted an external AC fuse as well as a
DC power connector and DC fuses. That allows me to bring DC out of
the cabinet which I typically do for debug and calibration.
