Re: [motm] Portable MOTM case

2004-11-02 by John Neilson

That looks intriguing, but I wonder how flush you could actually
stack them -- vertically and horizontally with those ball corners.

Since they're not open at the back, I assume one would be looking
at one double-space front-mounted power supply panel per box, or one
for every 9 double-space modules.  Any way of getting around that?  I
had sort of figured on trying to rear-mount the PS, if at all possible.

The back is sealed (all access from front) and the rack rails are recessed 1.5"; from the rack rails to the back of the case is 10.5".  Note that valance-spanning latches are used for the lid, so the extrusion around the front is not broken by a recessed latch assembly.
