Given the requirement to fit in an SKB case, the PSU can't be rotated. Yet
the connector board could be removed from the front panel and mounted on
the side of the enclosure. This would get it down to a two-space
module. It assumes the enclosure were not too wide. There is room to
place the switch to the side of the PSU still. The outlet would have to be
on the back of the enclosure this way, since it would no longer have room
on the front panel. I prefer it there anyway. I would prefer turning on
the MOTM from the front and having the power cord coming out the back.
