Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
vaderag:
By angle think he means the cp angle due to back being higher than front. The dimensions for that worked for me and just checking I'm sandwiched, so think maybe you've got it a bit large?
ZTylerDurden717:
Oh, yeah. That's probably what he meant.
Here's a closeup measuring that extra 1/8th in the back when I get a flush enclosure in the front:

When one panel is longer than the other by 1/8th, you'll get a 1/8th difference when sandwiching...

That would be true if the top and bottom were parallel but they are not. The top panel is sloped and that is the reason it's supposed to be 1/8" longer than the bottom. You need to measure the actual full width of the top and bottom to compare not measure that overhang.

Gilrock,
Measuring the full widths of top and bottom
Top: 10 5/32:

This is what you meant, correct? Thanks so much.

* Cab completely built and working. Been gaming on it for months now and it's pretty awesome. Vertical LCD and CPO has RGB everything.
* Custom artwork by Opt2Not is complete (AMAZING) and has been delivered though I have yet to send it to the printer. Working with this guy was such a pleasure. So prossional, skilled, creative.
* User Mike Boss is building a custom MaLa layout for me and he's incorporated some of the custom art from Opt2Not. I've seen a preview and she's a beaut!
* T-mold is here and ready for install after the artwork application.Otherwise it's ready to go. Hope to have the finish product pics posted soon.
Thanks again to OND for the inspiration to jump in and learn this stuff. I'm already thinking about another cab with a horizontal CRT w/ custom Metal Slug theme, assuming that Opt2Not will work with me again. And thanks to everyone else that has contributed to this thread and to the forum in general. I certainly couldn't have done it with you'se guys.

I really wish Gern posted his end result.
The artwork turned out really great, and would have loved to see it applied to his cabinet.
But he hasn't logged in since 2016...
