=== Height Issues ===
[[File:motmnolip.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The MOTM module panel is just flat, without flanges.]]Synthesizers.com and MOTM-format modules are ''technically'' the same height.<ref name="mw6598" /> The real difference is the fact that Synthesizers.com-format modules are formed on the sides for adding strength.<ref>Synthesizers.com:[
[[File:motmmindthegap.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The red shade highlights the gap left in order to centre the module.]]The mounting holes of MOTM-format modules are also placed at a slightly different vertical height to those on Synthesizer Dot Com modules. This means that if placing a MOTM-format module on the floor of a Synthesizer Dot Com cabinet its mounting holes will not reach the top rail completely. To counter this, make sure that any MOTM-format modules are centered in the rails before drilling mounting holes for them.[[File:mountingholes.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The MOTM holes are marked in green and Synthesizers.com in red.]] Mark the holes making sure the module is centered and drill the hole with a 1 mm or 2 mm bit. Then screw in one of the mounting screws to tap the hole before mounting the module. The MOTM mounting holes will be closer to the edge of the rails than the Synthesizers.com ones.[[File:happytogether.jpg|thumb|right|250px|middle|The two formats mounted in the same case.]]<ref name="mw6598" />
