Pretty good, looking at I dont know if it would have helped, other than cooling, to decase the TV or not. may be worse because you would have to put the board somewhere. Looks really good, what did you use to cut those holes? router?

Thanks guys! ;D Yea I figured it was more trouble than it was worth to de-case the tv and computer. If heat is an issue I can always add more venting or fans. For the holes, I usually used a jig saw. Some were free hand and some I used guides,. The only thing ive routed so far is the T-molding slots and shaved a bit where the hinges sit. I have made a little progress since my last post. I cuz some holes for the fan and power supply cord. I also cut the top monitor piece by the vertical sides so that it has room for the joystick movement and so it has the "H" cocktail table look. I have a lot of stuff going on so I wont be able to make any more progress for about a week! :'( But I will be sure to post back as soon as I can! :laugh:

So it has been awhile, but i finally found some time to work on my cab again. I finally got put the vinyl on the cab and got some t molding on. I have yet to finish the top, i need to cut some plexi for it first. I also started making the control panels. mostly just cut some holes but its a start. Im still waiting on the ipac and leg levelers, but once i have those i can up it up on legs and start wiring. I took some pics and its actually starting to take shape!
just a shot of one of the vertical sides.
The t-molding looks a little orangish but its really red and like the look a lot.
a shot overhead of the top of the cab, Im going to spray paint plexi and cover it.
here are the horizontal and vertical control panels. I think the layout is ok, they seem a bit deep though, i might take an inch or so off, i haven't decided yet.
I feel like im finally making progress and soon ill have a cab i can play on! :applaud:
