I'm not having a go at you Sandy, in fact I couldn't agree more about "building things in your mind" that's a really powerful method. It was just the whole, 'getting all your ducks in a row, checking all the traffic lights are green before heading out' feeling I was getting from reading your post. You're a programmer so makes sense I guess. No one wants some dopey design that's crapmame worthy. That's what's good about BYOAC, there's so much knowledge and experience on the ergonomics of good cabinet design you can start off with your idea and let it evolve with good advice. I like 'out of the box' thinking, it's what I'm paid for in my job.
There I've been all boring and explanatory.
I love seeing raw sketches, cardboard mock-ups etc, they are fun! Lets not forget this hobby is meant to be fun (that advice self applies to me too).
Hmph, now I gotta go into four hours of design workshops in real life and I'm in a mischievous mood - think out of the box, creative darling, Milan darling Milan. :D

Thank you. Hopefully this summer I'll get around to building it!

Here's a design I was playing around with for a while - the idea was to use a 21" LCD and have it manually rotate using a handle on the back. In the end I decided against it as couldn't be sure how stable it would be and found that lag on the Samsung 214t monitor was really distracting so gonna go CRT instead.
Always interesting to see other peoples ideas tho - even if they don't make it to final builds!

No, no, it's fine. Design on paper all you want, sketch ideas as they come to you, etc, but if you find a design you want to finish all the way to the end, you must (MUST) plan, plan, and plan some more before you make the first cut. That was my point. My above post is for cabinets you wish to complete. Go crazy, if you're just designing.
