When I built my first DK Cabaret I was kind of surprised at the lack of monitor space. I ended up going with a (I think) a 17 inch lcd. This is a pretty neat Idea. Can't wait to see what comes of it. |

Ordered a slot cutter for t-moulding. bought a 1/2" shank when the fixed router in my table takes 1/4". Eh, I wanted plunge router anyway. :) Nice day out to cut some MDF. Go find my saw and..... I have no idea. Maybe the dog? Lol. |

Got it cut out & decided to route some slots into the sides for the front & back pieces to make assembly easier. I'll gets pics once I start fitting it together. I don't know why people complain about the dust from working with MDF though. :o I wore the mini respirator I normally use when building something out of wood & still ended up blowing brown out of my nose. :'( |

So i'm going to plan 2 players with 4 buttons in a neogeo arch config & attempt to hang a 17" crt on some scrap pieces in it with the front of the case removed and see how that works. |
