Wow, looks awesome, Dave! Beautiful, impressive and most interesting! :-)

The only suggestion I have would be to replace the wing nuts with some large
Fluted Phenolic Knobs!

In case the stupid long link above doesn't survive go to:
http://carrlane.net/Catalog/index.cfm
then click on the Handles/Knobs/Screw Clamps link
then click on the Fluted Knobs picture
then click on the Fluted Knobs Phenolic picture

Actually, this page is a great way to see a lot of the possibilities:

I ended up going with some thick felt between the cabinets. I cut the 
felt about 1/2" smaller than the top of each cabinet. I was surprised 
that there was reasonable friction. Each cabinet was solid but 
would slide if you really pushed on them.  I put a photo on the main 
page at http://modularsynthesis.com/

I polished up a piece of 1" aluminum that I ran down each side with a 
stainless wingnut and stud into each pivot mount of the cabinet to 
tie them all together. It holds them pretty firm and looks pretty 
sharp since it adds some shininess to dress up the sides.  I put a 
photo at the bottom of my cabinet page at http://modularsynthesis.com/
cabinet/cabinet.htm

Now I have 7U of free cabinet space and an empty 9U cabinet ...
