MOTM

OK,   I will tell you what I know.
1.  I mailed a rail to Paul just for testing this very feature.
    He apparently has a synth.com cabinet.  Paul ?  Verdict?

2.  According to the specifications on the synth.com cabinet you would have
exactly 3/4 inch gap on each side.  JUST the right size to be filled with a
MOTM end cap.  <how about that>  And, the end cap hole will even line up
with the threaded hole in the flat rail.  However, be aware that:

A - the end caps will be on the opposite side.  So, don't get a logo cap.
It will be upside down.
B- You will have to cut off the end rail on each end top and bottom (that is
4 cuts through 1/8" x 1/2" steel)  Not a problem, but you will need a nice
hack saw and some elbow grease.

Bottom line is I think it will work, but I cannot prove it.  Someone ship me
a .com cabinet and I will let you know <snicker>

Well, the height is correct but the width will cause some issues or gaps.
If you
are willing to have a gap on the ends, you can fit 26U of modules.  I built
a "Moog
sized" cabinet but made the sides a bit thinner to accomidate 27U of
modules.  See
the files area for the diagrams/pics.

I don't know exactly how Roger does the lip of the cabinet but I know there
aren't
any rails.  He just uses screws into the wood.  So, I don't know exactly how
the fit
and finish for the MOTM modules may be.  The face plates will probably stick
out
just a bit because of the flat rails.

I guess it all depends on your view of cost vs. time vs. appearance.
