I don't know about the ones you can buy, but I built one myself,
although I'm not a good/experienced woodworker. In fact, I'm a quite
bad one... The cabinet itself is not that big of a deal (well, you
have to invest some time, but it's not that hard to build it
accurately), but I had problems with the "rails", which in my case are
wooden... I wouldn't do it that way anymore, instead I would go with
the standard-rails, that Doepfer-cases use. It's hard to get good
screws for wood in that tiny size, and if I want to move modules, I
have to be very careful not to break the wooden bars. (I had to use
thin ones because I built a sloped cabinet).

Hope, that helps a bit,
