Re: [motm] Re: Planning a cabinet

2007-12-31 by Greg Wuller

I have a 24U by 3 row system on an 3 level Ultimate A-frame stand just  
above a 61-key controller. The weight of the system is enough that I  
couldn't imagine it on a single tier. I've got two of the bars, one  
mounted desk height on the front of the A and the second on the back  
of the A. The system sits on both bars and they do flex under the  
weight.

My biggest complaint is that occasionally when I'm pulling/inserting  
patch cords one swings down and wacks the keyboard. Fortunately is is  
just a relatively inexpensive controller but I'd be worried about your  
Voyager.
