Twin Cabinet Build
Fursphere:
Interesting, you guys seem to be leaning the opposite way I am. :)
I do not like the huge silly marquee on the newer cabs. I used sketchup to layout the basic design for my first cabinet. I've been tooling around with that design for the past few days improving on it. (I have a full 3d sketchup model of the Model 2 daytona cabinets, so I should be able to replicate it if I choose to go that route). Its been raining like crazy here, so I haven't picked up any wood yet. And at $90 a sheet for plywood, I'm in no hurry.
Here is my take so far on a modern SR Cabinet. There are some weird geometry problems I haven't quite figured out yet in the model, but the basic idea is there, and its modeled full size so I can dimension it out for cut sheets.

OMG there's no room for a CRT in that!
It looks good tho, but as with any build it's going to be about the finishing touches and art :)

that's okay... you probably couldn't get one unless you already had one anyway. :P

C'mon, you need two. Then they breed by themselves :)

The only 32" CRT that I'm familiar with was the Sony WEGAs. And they weighed a TON. (Bought one new way back in the day). Also had a 36" Song WEGA at one point too.... no thank you. Ridiculously heavy. Somewhere around 200 lbs I think.
The 32" LCDs I picked up for the cabinets are 17 lbs each. :)
