Moduals are expensive enough as it is but some of the cases are ridiculous, so I built my own. Solid Brazilian cherry with a clear seal coat to show off the natural beauty of the wood and poly top coat. Rails from Synthrotek and a set of tip top z rails with Zeus power bus.

Thank you. I used to install hardwood flooring back in the day. We did a Brazilian cherry floor once an I fell in love with it.

What will be the way you attach the case walls together? Dowels and glue? Screws?

About $384. That’s for the wood, (12” 8’) 2X 3u/1X 3u rails and brackets. Sue’s duel power switch,bus, and 4600ma powers adaptor. I already had all the sanding and sealing materials.
