Are there plans with metric dimensions? The download links on the first page only have inches.
Also, the original artwork is awesome. Is it available?
Thanks!

Also, i found that if you download the original plans in autocad and open in the web viewer it allows you to go along each measurement and get the metric size :)

Just getting all the bits in for my build and I have a couple of questions...
1) What size router flush router bit have people used? I just ordered one and it seems tiny... wondering if it's too small.
2) For the monitor bezel and 45 degree chamfering bit is mentioned... I was thinking about this - surely that leaves rounded corners? How do you make it so that the corners are straight to match the monitor outline?
3) On the step for the rear panel, which cut the hole in the panel - why not just use the whole panel as a door (saving cutting and time?) Is it in some way used for stability?
Thanks in advance :)

Stability. Without it, the cab could shear.

So, the castors I ordered for my build have just arrived and I think they might be too big... I ordered with the weight in mind but they're 100mm diameter and i think 50mm is suggested from memory...
Anyone used 100mm ones?
I presume they'll work but i'll need to move them in a bit and have the floor a bit higher so that they're not so visible?

10cm is likely a bit surplus to requirements. I'd just take the hit and get smaller ones in...
