Wow ... a torture chamber?

Unfortunately there are so many wonderful (eurorack) modules available (and more being made every month), I could fill it up pretty quickly.
 
But I am trying to force myself to keep to a strict diet regarding any new purchases at the moment.

Drew,

Of course if I could get my hands on a knob laden modular synth with lots of patch cords.

I've never owned a synth that required patch cords, but I did own a Roland SH-101 and a Korg Poly 6... both were a lot of fun, easy to use and sounded great. Tuning on the other hand was a nightmare depending on the electricity source and stability.

This is not a recommendation as I have no idea how good these modules are, but have you see this company, their modules look fantastic.

I had about 10 minuits with a Moog modular once! I used a EMS Synthi A at college, no patch cords here but a matrix patch bay where you made the connection with small jacks. This is more convinent bit of course its not expandable.
The first synth I owned was a Yamaha SY-1, later I had a SH101 and the MC202 sequencer version. Tuning on the SH101 was reasonably stable compared to the Synthi A.
 
I entered the MIDI and digital world with the Korg Poly 800 and a Yamaha DX100, I am not sure which I had first.

That's actually a different modular format (that is physically much bigger) than the eurorack I have, though I believe there are some clones in eurorack format.
 
But trust me, there's no shortage of modules available and more keep showing up all the time. Even Roland is entering eurorack.

The really big problems are cost and space. 

This little guy was born in my basement in 1981 and went to many jobs. It had a patch bay on the back. Because it was a kit, it came with schematics so mods were (relatively) easy. (That's when you make a patch change and commit to it with solder.) It sounded a lot like a monophonic Prophet 5. But it would drift a bit if the A/C kicked on. Oh yeah - no MIDI, and you selected one of 16 patches by cycling through them with a single (noisy) pushbutton.
