Ive just cut some panels for somones Doepfer system, that, i think, are a very good idea.
Im posting here with the customers permission - the design is his, i just engraved them for him.

They are a set of small 4hp panels to connect to a loom that then runs to his moogerfooger devices, bringing the connections to the front panel for easy patching.
Years ago, i did somthing similar for my kenton pro-2000, but his are a lot neater.
Anyway, its a very simple idea, but, i think, quite a nice one. The only downside is that, on a standard doepfer case, there's obviously going to be issue with the cables comming out the back. I havent asked the customer what cases he is working with.
