A few pics of the modular

Here's where we are, with the new case.  Apologies for the weird angles; it's in a tight space and I was trying to maneuver it so it would not be backlit by a window:

Modular
Three vertical rows and two rows set at a 45-degree angle, plus a pseudi-CP row.   Approximately 105 units of MU.

Modular, top portion
It's a mixed-format modular, with MU, MOTM, and a few Modern-A.  

Modular, bottom rows
The angled rows -- mostly still room for improvement.  I just got the mounting rail for the bottom row, and the filler panels, installed this week.  The empty space above is the CP row; I haven't made a filler panel for it yet.
