I build furniture as one of my hobbies. Therefore I could build a custom, made to fit, each piece of equipment enclosure or desk. However, my station is in a reconfigured built in book case system. Cabinets are located below with doors, and above, shelves are extended to depths of 12" to 18" for equipment and operation, extend to the ceiling. Plus it is some 6 ft wide. A series of holes in each shelf allows running cables left to right and up and down. Over some 20 years it has contained and supported various pieces of equipment from a fully configured Collins S Line plus a 5 transceiver accumulation and now down to two transceivers and one amplifier and tuner. Being on the 2nd floor of the house, all feed lines and rotor control traverse the attic and drop down through the ceiling to the tuner and coax switch arrangement at the operating position.

The point being.........flexibility is a must with any installation and configuration.

Hi,
Just making the point that as things are added, you will need more
space...  I once built a tight cabinet like that, and within a year, it
was too small...
