RE: [motm] Cabinet building for MOTM gear

2002-10-30 by John Loffink

I tried this for awhile.  I had a 20U high slanted cabinet sitting on a
table top. It worked okay, but ideally for easier patching you want
something that's longer in the horizontal direction than the vertical
direction.  A couple of side by side rack cabinets would be a better
fit.  I ended up building my own cabinet instead.
