Subject: Re: [motm] FYI: Finally got my MOTM powered up! Pictures posted.

Thanks for the pics, John. Glad to see my cabinet project was helpful
to you. I used an aluminum rack panel for the mounting power supply,
just because it is so much easier to mill. Still very sturdy at 1/8"
thick. I put a power supply in each cabinet, and I have a couple of
CGS63 Power Supply Delay boards awaiting assembly, should I run into the
Power-One startup issue. You won't have any ventilation problems! To
power your second cabinet, I suppose you'll put another MOTM-990
distribution board in it. How do you plan to run the DC wiring between
the 990s?
