U should supply us with your blueprints for those of us (cough) who would like to build one just like that ;)
Keep up the good work!

here's a quick sketch of the side dimensions. kinda crude, but should give you an idea. do all your layout and save speaker and marquee area for last as these were developed from the intersection of right angles in the top and monitor areas. i tried to sketch it up to scale and something wasn't quite working right, probably due to the tiny little protractor i was trying to pull the measurements from. the protractor measurement are probably accurate to +/- one degree.
i'll try and get a sketch of the control panel as soon as i get a chance. HTH

LOL, this is the same way I post my drawings...I draw them then take a picture :)
It works right!
Thanks for the drawing, great looking cab!

@pharaoh- never thought about the camera idea, actually i scanned it a few times trying to get it to show up darker. I'm in the process of drawing it in Sketchup8 at the moment, but this program isn't nearly as easy to use as AutoCad :banghead:
waiting on a new table saw to be delivered before i go any further with the woodworking, so i should have some time to get this thing drawn out shortly.

Wow, that looks great!!! I have two of those in my basement but as single player cabs ;). Please keep posting updates, as I'd love to se the finished product.

here's a little update...i mounted the DVD drive under the hinged control panel. made a template for the router and had to use a small flush cut saw to take the radius off at the corners. its mounted from behind with some hand made aluminum L brackets. i have the computer up and runnning, just haven't figured out the best way to mount it all in there. i have an idea just giving it a little more thought before i commit to anything.
new table saw will be here thursday along with misc hardware and switches, should be able to get a good chunk of it finished over the weekend.

Your monitor mount is brilliant! So simple yet so ... why did I not do that?
