Thanks for the pics, John. Glad to see my cabinet project was helpful to you. I used an aluminum rack panel for the mounting power supply, just because it is so much easier to mill. Still very sturdy at 1/8" thick. I put a power supply in each cabinet, and I have a couple of CGS63 Power Supply Delay boards awaiting assembly, should I run into the Power-One startup issue. You won't have any ventilation problems! To power your second cabinet, I suppose you'll put another MOTM-990 distribution board in it. How do you plan to run the DC wiring between the 990s?
