Re: [motm] FYI: Finally got my MOTM powered up! Pictures posted.

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?
