My suggestion: forget about the SKB case altogether. You 
will most likely want many more modules than the set you 
listed, and thus will grow out of the case looking for 
something bigger. To be more precise:

1. Use the SKB for the time being.

2. Get the 900 and a couple of 'normal' 15V modules. Note 
that you won't have any MIDI control over these modules, 
unless you have a CV keyboard or another brand midi->cv 
converter.

3. When the MOTM 650 arrives (the MIDI converter), which is 
due april 2004, get it together with a 950 power supply. 

4. In the meantime start thinking about a larger cabinet or 
19" rack for your system and when you grow out of your SKB, 
dump it. The moment you changed cabinets, you could build 
your power supplies *in* the cabinet, or on the backplate 
of the cabinet, freeing 6 units of space for more beautiful 
MOTM stuff.

Btw, you will love the 490. For that kind of sound, it 
should have been a 2U panel. ;)

I have no clue about the 300 vs 310 issue. I'm about to get 
my first OSC myself, and have been wondering about it too.
