Man, this is how I want *my* modular; I posted a question about building modules
into separate boxes (and how to power them) a few weeks ago, but no one
responded. :-(  Which raises that question once again-- what would be the best
way to power separately-housed modules?  Is the idea of building modules this
way even worth pursuing?  I've got my MOTM-120 waiting to be built, and I'd
love to build it as a box...
