I think it will be fine. When I sit at my desk with the CS at the top of the rack, if I extend my arm straight out at shoulder height, the top row of edit knobs are right there ... and everything else, including the buttons and center panel, are in easy reach.

> Bruno ... I racked my command station at the top of a similar rack. That way you don't have to lose any rack spaces as you can get to the inputs on CS from the top easily.

This seems an idea. I will probably try to adjust the rack ears - as I
mentioned in another post, they are not original, although they don't
seem to excess the proper length.

> I am using mine primarily as a sound module ... so I don't mind not having the pads at the bottom of the angled section of the rack.

I'm using mine as a sequencer driving the rhythm in my studio, so pads
are not so important, but I do care about those lovely 16 buttons... I
will check if they are still reachable after moving the unit to the
top.

> That unit looks pretty good. I bought a cheaper one, but had to get those expensive SKB screw and nut kits ... since it didn't have the drilled/ tapped screw openings in the frame.

OK, if you want to see the exact picture, here it is:
