Here's the Ekho stand I got.
It's pretty sturdy and I quite like it.

Image

It extends high enough to be over my keyboard

Image

(Also, there's my state of the art passive mixer I made out of a vhs cassette box on top of my s3000) High tech huh :smoker:
As you can see, it has this bit sticking out of it which would get in the way of a floppy drive, but it could be sawed off.

Image

And it doesn't have that clamping system of the other ones

Image

so I might drill a couple of holes in it and attach a bit of metal sheeting to it and screw it into the Mpc chassis...Like this.....

Image

But it seems to to stay on there ok as it is , so I might not bother.
It can be adjusted to be smaller too.
So anyway, yeah it works for what I wanted it for, and it's better than the thing I made out of a office chair.

Nice setup. Looks good with the new stand. I have a similar issue with the Onstage Stands Mix 400 blocking the floppy drive. But I have a 1/2" thick piece of wood underneath the MPC which raises it above the piece that gets in the way.
