When I get around to building my cabinets this winter, I too was considering
drilling some holes in Masonite for a back panel. Right now I'm thinking I
will just buy some pre-drilled masonite "peg-board," since Home Depot has it
cheap in 4'x4' sheets, and the holes are spaced nicely. I don't really care
what it looks like in back, since it will be a studio-only machine up near a
wall, but I DO want to keep dust off (and the cat out of it) while allowing
for some ventillation.
Hey, if you use pegboard, you can get some hooks and hang your cables off
the back! :)
Question--do you find the 10" depth "stable"? I was going to take advantage
of the shallow depth of the MOTM modules and keep depth to an absolute
minimum (maybe 8" outside measurement), but I worry that I will plug a patch
cord in and push the whole thing over. Is this a silly worry? Even with
rubber feet? That's an open question to any of you cabinet guys / Moog
owners.

Thanks. No, I wasn't planning a back for the cabinet at the moment.
Right now it
is sitting pretty close to a wall in the middle of a "stack" with no air
vents
nearby so dust accumulation should be minimal. The depth of the box at
about 10"
also provides a pretty good overhang over the modules.
If I do put a back on it, I will probably use some thin "Masonite" and
put holes
around the PS
