What exactly is a "showcase' cabinet??
Pasqualz:
As i've been trolling around the net for ideas on my first cabinet, I keep seeing people talking about their "showcase" cabinets. I'm assuming the connotation here is that they're building a really nice cabinet, but is the an actual definition for the term "showcase cabinet?" I'm just curious because I think I want my first cab to be a showcase piece, but maybe after I'm educated on this term, I'll change my mind...

this thread has a good picture of one. Also visit the Project Announcement page and see Mamestrosity, its a showcase.
Basics: Showcase cabs generally have a 33" or greater monitor with the CP distanced from it. Connected generally by a base.
