i just think the PSU-as-a-racked-module approach is tacky and a waste
of rackspace.  I have a few qualms with this one that are unfortunate
because I mostly like it:

a.) the screen printing on the back is wholly unnecessary, and I dont
want my eurorack branded by whoever makes the case.  let me give you
money for product and have the transaction end there.  I dont want to
be a billboard after the sale.

b.) its really odd that they went with two 800ma "busses" (I cant
remember their term) but didn't evenly divide the power headers
between the two busses??  so now instead of worrying about whether my
psu can handle all of my modules, I have to worry about which ones are
plugged in here and there?  dumb imo, but maybe there is something I'm
missing that explains that decision

c.) why is the bus board located under the top row?  thats going to be
real annoying to plug shit in my feel when your top row is full, and
I'm curious how long of a stretch that will be for modules on the
lower level

d.) weird width I think?  its something like 88hp?  104 HP and I might
suffer through the above (I suspect I could attack that sillk
screening with some solvent).
