"Cabinets:
Ichabod consists of an assembly of 9 separate cabinets interlocked together.
The cabinets were constructed out of 3/8” African Padauk, sanded to 600 grit and oiled with Linseed oil. Paste wax was applied and hand buffed as a sealer and protector. The color was originally as orange as the graphics but, the linseed oil and exposure to UV has darkened the wood to a dazzling deep reddish-orange.
The cabinets are all mitered at the corners and the 13 Ga. steel module mounting frames are embedded into a ¼” deep groove, 1” back from the front edge.
The 4X wide main cabinets (qty=3) contain two Condor power supplies, one for each pair of panels. There are connectors on the back for connecting the satellite cabinets to the main cabinet DC power bus. Four El-Pac external power supplies were supplied for the satellite cabinets if they were to be utilized independently, separate from the main system.
The four satellite cabinets and the two cable caddies are stock MMM cabinets. The cable caddies were modified with an orange electro-luminescent light strip and inverters to light the strips. A reverse light mask with the name “Ichabod” was manufactured and placed over the EL strip.
Modules:
The modules were distributed to provide a left-to-right signal flow per each 2-panel section. The 4X cabinets have two identical left and right layouts and the satellites are identical pairs. A few redundant modules were added to the left and right satellite cabinets in order to provide a fully functioning stand-alone system.

I know people rip on BC all the time, but I'd say kudos to him for obviously providing some needed capital for Mr. M to speed up his development process.
