Actually, the back is still completely open, so it's easy to shift the power supply to the
back, which is something I will certainly do when I get to that point. :-)
I have a friend that will build me a new case (he's much better with woodwork than myself)
Which will indeed get rid of the rackmount brackets, and it will be 3 tiers tall instead of
the current 2. That will create space for future modules, and when I run out of space, I will
move the supply to the rear and steel the 3U space it currently takes up :-)
Also , currently my synth is slanted, but due to the large footprint this takes up, my new
case will be a 'straight up design' I love the slanted style, but I currently have no space for
that, so indeed, the only way is UP :-)
Thanks for stopping by and your suggestions.
