Moog, Synthesizers.com, MOTM, Modcan, Moon and others... Go big!

I think it would be much easier to just buy the barebones kit make a FPE panel for it. Or perhaps if there is enough interest, a Bridechamber panel would be really nice; I would definitely want one.

A few days ago Curetronic put up a special offer on their web-site: http://www.curetronic.com/curetrbau/curetr/second.htm This might bring down the cost a bit.

I was eyeing that Intellijel quantizer the other day too. Looks amazing. If it were me, I'd go for the TipTop Happy Ending kit. When I click on The Intellijel quantizer or the Happy Ending Kit at Analog Haven they both say "email us for availability".

Does anyone make a simple power adapter for one Euro module (rather than a board)? Seems like I've seen one but don't recall who made it. Some modules could run on 15V but others would have to be regulated down to 12V.

Needing a 3.5mm>1/4" 1U adapter module AND 2 cables for every connection seems quite impractical to me. I'd make 3.5>1/4 adapter cables or buy adapters.

I had a mixed system for a couple of years and it wasn't that big a deal if you had the cables. Repaneling seems like the hard way to go unless you're into DIY heavily or anti-Euro or something but the aesthetic result would be good if done right. The Happy Ending kit makes it affordable to have a small separate rack with its own power supply. The Doepfer racks are really expensive by comparison. Personally I think the Curetronic panel would be quite ugly in an all dotcom system.
