AlienInferno:
Just came across this. Looks good so far and that cnc does make it easier and faster. I have plans to build a cnc of my own but haven't had the time/money to really get into it yet. I did get a demo of vcarvepro though and planned out my cab just for fun. It's pretty fun to mess around with.

Finally got a few hours to do the major cabinet assembly. Went pretty quick! Woodshop... the carbide bits last a long time cutting wood. I also got a 21" crt that I'm using instead of a lcd. Its starting to come together!

that's lookin' great! i'm envious of the CNC machine, especially from my perspective, i'm kind of stuck with kits. seems like it makes life a lot easier.

More progess!
- mounted my 21" crt, after decasing the thing, I bolted the monitor to a bezel board that will be hidden by the main bezel. That was screwed to 2x2's that are attached to my side panels. Its nice and easy to change out if I ever want to try a different monitor combination.
- I found an old pioneer gm600 18w x 2 around here and wired it to run off the computer power supply driving a couple of pioneer 6" speakers.
- I got brave and cut out my control panel :) I'm not using a trackball, instead I mounted a spinner in the middle with two buttons on each side. Of course I went and cut the thing out on the wrong side so I'm going to be filling and sanding before I get my artwork :) I recessed the joysticks .25 of an inch, which gave my .5 for under side screws. Its a basic layout but will perfectly functional for what I am planning.
- I'm pretty stoked about where I am now, I will try and get the wiring setup and give the whole thing a test run before I finish the cab! Thanks Knievel and everybody else for the inspiration, the quality of projects on BYOAC is incredible!!!

Looks great except for the tiny screen. :cheers:
