Subject: Re: [motm] My MOTM DarkStar - (was Blacet-MOTM adaptor)

Hey Moe! I think your panel looks great! I'd like to hear more about how this
process is going. Will this "service" be available to other MOTM listers?
Roughly how much will this be costing you per panel?

As for John Blacet's idea of the "panel in a panel," at first I though it was
kind of neat, but not the way I'd go. Then I realized that it would still be
a good idea.

Suppose one was to get a Blacet module which doesn't have (nor will likely
ever have) a close MOTM cousin like the Time Machine VC BBD module. It seems
to me that both a Blacet kit and a MOTM kit take about the same amount of
time to assemble, but if there are no MOTM size front panels available for
this module, one needs to diy one of these -- which would take a long time.
So as a short term solution to this problem, the Blacet/MOTM adapters would
be great -- I'd probably get a couple of them for the temporary solution.
MOTM-Blacet Time Machine, hmmm......
