MOTM

Currently I have power cables strung between my DotCom cabinet and my 
MOTM/Modcan cabinet, however I've decided that I would rather use a 
separate MOTM power supply so that the two cabinets no longer need to 
be kept right next to each other (actually one on top of the other)

So here's my newbie question of the day; is there any reason to get the 
MOTM-900 instead of the MOTM-950? Especially since I'll need the 950 
for the CG/CGX modules when they become available?

The only thing is that the '950 can only power around 10 'normal' MOTM 
modules (with a MOTM-960 hanging off it).

The '900 has a lot more juice to power +/-15v modules than does the '950.
What motm/modcan modules are you currently powering?

Ah, yes I hadn't noticed the lower output on the 950

I've do have spare linear power supply lying around:
DC Power Output:  +15V@1500ma, -15V@1500ma, +5V@6000ma.
Is there any reason I couldn't (or shouldn't) just wire that up to a 
990 adapter board and us it?

As for current modules, at the moment the cabinet only has a pair of 
Modcan 05B Dual LFO modules, an (unpowered) Modcan 49B Attenuate 
module, and a MTOM 390… the whole point of the cabinet initially was 
to provide a home for LFO's since DotCom doesn't make them, but as my 
system grows it become less reasonable to share power supplies 
between cabinets, and I've a growing desire for modules other than 
those provided by DotCom… like all those MOTM filters :)

I can't see why not.  That could power a couple dozen modules.  Also,
buying a 950 is a waste of both money and panel space if you already
have a suitable supply, imho.  Just make sure its properly fused and
securely mounted.

No, those look like single supplies.

It should say on it.  If it doesn't, I'm sure you can download the 
instructions from their website.
