If you have access to past issues of Commodore World you might want to
check out the front cover with the C-128 tower, built by Al Anger of Miami
Fla. I think he also goes by the name Wile.E.Coyote on Commodore Net, the
address in the mag is: d0141066c@dcfreenet.seflin.lib.fl.us 
This issue also shows dual:l 1581's dual 128's , 128d with a 1581 drive
128d type case with CMD FD4000, and CMD HD and RamLink

I too have entertained the thought to make a 128 tower, I now have all the
necessary parts except the tower case.
