Mamestrosity showcase cab updated!! (7/23/10...thinking of selling...)
AlanS17:
For reference, showcase cabinets typically use a 33" screen. I like this, though. It looks very good. Where did you get the plans for it?

He examined the Showcase at dreamauthentics.com. They have a 3D model of one and he went to work. Really good job IMHO!

MEDIUM Density Fibreboard.
Fibreboard that can morph between multiple densities would indeed be rare! ;)

yeah no plans on this one. i just looked around the internet and found pictures of other showcase cabs, and just kinda looked at them real close. i went to dreamauthentics.com and they had this rotating picture that you can use to see what the mega cab will look like (only $5000!!) and i just looked at the sides and started drawing on mdf. i also went to my local arcade and stood by them to see what the height was so i could estimate what a good height would be for this cp. and for the monitor, sometimes i would just sit and stare at the mdf to think in my mind how i want this to look....and i went from there. it came out really cool....and pretty good for no plans or really anything to go by since not many people build these types of cabs. my fiance came to see it and she walked and in said she was really impressed....thats a big sigh of relief...i thought she would be pissed that i built something so big. but she wasnt, all is well ;D

Your work is extremely impressive! I hope to try doing a showcase once I get my first cabinet built. You've done an awesome job!
