I guess technically it would be a 3-piece, but the panel will be bolted in place and won't really need to be removed to move the machine.  The base is 26" wide and holds the control panel which slightly overlaps the sides at 27.5 inches.  The top is also 27.5 inches wide and it sits down on the base and overlaps it by a couple inches.  I took clues from several other cabinets, but I just started drawing until I got the profile and design I liked best.  Sorta a Defender meets Joust cabinet in 2 pieces.

I had particle board lying around.  That's the only reason I used it.  I don't mind spending some time sanding.  It was actually kind of fun.  If I would have had to buy wood for this project I would have gone with MDF.
