It looks totally great! Some thoughts - 

The bus jacks and mults between are great, but you probably won't need that many of either, probably just one row will do. I've got tons of multiples here, but generally find that I only use 2 or 3 groups of four even for the big patches. 

And the handle on top? Maybe, maybe not. These things are HEAVY. My big 2x24u cabinet - I don't even consider moving it by myself. Even with a big handle like that, you'd throw your back out in an instant. You'll need two bigass handles on each end, and get someone to help you move it. Which leads to my next thought....

Make sure you can expand! Believe it or not, you'll fill those 40u's pretty quickly, than you'll need to sit another 20u on top of it, and maybe eventually more. I'm at 3x24u now, and still going strong - I'll need another 24u by, well, next Thursday possibly. Remember, you made the crack analogy...

It looks great though! I love the power switch on the front like that! (Mine is on the back, keeps inquisitive fingers away)

I'm putting together my first modular (totally enjoying it like crack
cocaine), and am trying to come up with creative case ideas.

I would like a little input on my fist design, especially my idea to
put mults and bus jacks between rows in my portable case. I'm also
putting the power switch on front with a "vintage" style crystal bulb
cover over the power led. I must adorn my beloved!!!
