I went with Euro because of the reasons you suggested but also because of the functional density - to get the same functionality in MOTM, I would have required a much larger setup. Also, I don't like to DIY (though I may DIY my new case if I can find the rails reasonably priced). MOTM is much more suited to people who will DIY their own cabinets and power systems than Euro is.
About the switching power supplies. A few years back now TipTop Audio and a few others released buss boards that do some kind of magic that I don't fully understand to keep the power clean. Also, while you can use any old laptop PSU with their buss boards, its recommended (and widely followed) that you need to use higher quality PSUs from Cincon (?). I have one on my modular and I don't have any issues with the Goike case that uses it.

I don't have a ponytail, but do have a
curved wooden cabinet. This is the only way to get 4 rows of MOTM
size modules on top of each other. I DIY'ed my cases. (4 cabinets
for less than 50euro. If you want to include the PSU's you'll meed
to add another 200euro for 4 x 2A +/-15V Power One PSU's)
I do like my wall of modules. Need a VCA, there is always one in
front of you ;-) You just need to make sure that you know your
modules. Once that is fixed, more is better/fatter ;-)
What I find strange is that the monorocket case is fitted with a
switching power supply.
Apart from being cheap, small and the massive amount of modules,
what are the other reasons you guys went for euro/frac format?

Don't intellijel make a modular, multi-boat setup that's sort
if like a 200e?
I've got a doepfer 9u suitcase and the 200e so I don't worry
about that...;)
I agree with to
ny though, in that the curved wooden cabinets
are not for me. I think you need a ponytail for those...;-)

To me the buchla 200e case is like the perfect format. Or
like the EMS VCS3. I think cuz it says more future video
game lab scientist than old timey regular scientist. I don't
get the whole wall of synth thing. I look at it and just get
tired :)

I've been very happy with my monorocket
case. The power was upgraded for free by Steve a couple
years ago and I've since filled it. No issues at all!
I like the upright cases better than the console
cases. I don't know why, I just don't like the curved
style thats popular now. And they are damn expensive!

Wanted to ask you, were you happy with the
monorocket? I originally was looking to do a more
console setup like 3 Pittsburg cell 90's, but have
heard not so great things about the Pitts cases.
The modules need to connect directly to the ribbon
cable (no cable in between,) the hp sizing is
slightly off (a bit too narrow when filled up
using non Pitts modules and t
he wood sides,) and
some random quality issues. There are a good
amount of people getting on with them but at the
end of the day they aren't exactly cheap and not
sure I want to take a chance.
At first I didn't like the "road case" idea but
it's growing on me as an all in one solution.

It's that time of year again
where I go further into the deep end of
modular insanity..
This year I've decided to sell my
Monorocket Mission 9 and Goike 6u boat cases
and consolidate it all into one Monorocket
Lexicon 2 (12u x 150 hp).
Here are the stats:
Mission 9 (9u x 90 hp). Red tolex.

my case, but one just like it)
This is the original M9 case but has had
its power system redone by Steve at
Monorocket. I've had it filled and had none
of the noise or load problems the original
M9 power system had.
Asking $500 shipped anywhere WW for bar
members.
Goike 6u boat

This case is really nice as you can see
in the pictures.
This one has a universal power supply
that can handle anything and uses TipTop bus
boards. I can't remember the specs off
hand, but it's handled everything I've put
in it.
Asking $400 shipped anywhere WW for bar
members.
Want both cases? Ill knock another $50
bucks off.
I will be aggressively looking to sell
these in January after my bonus comes
through but want to get a buyer lined up
now. One catch is I don't want to ship them
until the new case arrives. Big City Music
as a couple in stock, but if they sell out
Ill have to go custom order and that could
take some weeks.
