(Euro)Racks, Power Supplies

[Marc Nostromo [M-.-n]]

I remembered acidlab has a nice small case not too expensive.

http://acidlab.de/ProductAssets/Modular/Module_Overview.pdf

Rack 3HE: 80 euros
Power supply (flying bus compatible): 70 euros

Might be a good startup point, expecially considering I'm kind of
gagging for the M303 which - if it sounds anything close to my
original bassline - is a top notch monovoice and not really expensive.
