Subject: Re: [motm] Re: Planning a cabinet

From: Greg Wuller <ngwese-list@...>

I have a 24U by 3 row system on an 3 level Ultimate A-frame stand just above a 61-key controller. The weight of the system is enough that I couldn't imagine it on a single tier. I've got two of the bars, one mounted desk height on the front of the A and the second on the back of the A. The system sits on both bars and they do flex under the weight.

My biggest complaint is that occasionally when I'm pulling/inserting patch cords one swings down and wacks the keyboard. Fortunately is is just a relatively inexpensive controller but I'd be worried about your Voyager.

Maybe it can go on the bottom and I can attach table legs to it, hmmm.

Figure out how many thousands of dollars will be in your modular

live in earthquake country. I'd figure out how to get a tall table 
over a 2 high st! and or p ut it on the side.
