Subject: FYI: Finally got my MOTM powered up! Pictures posted.

No sparks, smoke, flame, death or destruction (yet) so I'm going to
call it a success! ;-)

I made my own little photo album in the photos section FWIW. Pretty
basic stuff. All the modules so far have been purchased second hand
but I'll be ordering the MOTM-650 MIDI-CV from Paul in a month or so.

My cabinet and power supply were directly inspired by Richard
Brewster's portable cabinets on his site:
http://pugix.com/synth/portable-rack-cabinets/

I used a 12 space high cabinet instead of the 10 space so I would
have room for a lighting unit and the left over space will be for a
19" rack panel with a couple Oakley units in it.

The power supply is 800mA @ +/- 15 VDC and 3A @ +5 I'm thinking this
should be enough to power this cabinet and the second one I have
already planned part way out (MFOS sequencer, MFOS Voltage Quantizer
(new!), Tellun Neural Agonizer, and . . .????)

And yes, cutting a large rectangular hole in a steel panel is NO FUN!
(but the Raxxess steel panel had a finish on it really similar to the
MOTM panels so, I had to! ;-)
