<<i have a question about the design conventions of your EMB>>

The innner width dimension from wood to wood of my case is (hold)....26 1/2 inch wide, a 
little over 132Hp.  Why?  It's a Eurorack-friendly division and it's got some bulk to it.  I am 
not a big fan of multiples of 17 inch wide rows.  My main cabinet's five rows would take up 
eight 17 inch rows - i find this challenges ergomonic design We may be doing something 
in this area, but as it is there are so many coals on the fire, I don't want to start talking 
about more things we're considering.  I've got months of work ahead of me releasing the 
products we have announced!

I'm anal when it comes to ergomonics.  I like to sit when I work and want to be able to 
reach everything when i do comfortably.  If I had to stand up or bend down to get to 
things It would drive me bats.

The curve of my main cabinet's rows also helps iwith ergomnics as it keeps the five rows 
lower to the table top than if it had a straight front.  The only downside to this arc is it's a 
bit of a dust trap.  I notice my two side cabs don't get as dirty because everything falls off.  
WIth this main cab it sort of collects on the bottom two rows.  I brush it off often with a 
really soft paint brush, so it's not worth worrying about.

I've got about 1 1/3 of open space on the last side cabinet.  After that I don't know what 
I'm going to do, probably will have to start selling stuff off to make room for new things.  

hope this helps,
