Of course Ive also thought about filling the space with digital clocks behind the bezel glass set to different time zones ala a "Its 5'oclock somewhere" theme.

In the end the wife will dictate the theme and color, Im just the labor ;)

You have all those creative ideas and you're asking HERE for advice.  I wish I could come up with things like that.  I don't think fish tanks and electronics would mix well, but it sounds like a cool concept.

Thanks for the vote of confidence :)  The more ideas the better.  Its hard without seeing it to fathom the actual amount of space in this cabinet, but all the electronts with the exception of the monitor will fit in the CP box with room to spare.  There is enough room in the monitor cabinet to build partition walls to separate the monitor from the tanks and waterproof everything.  Still, the cost of 2 tanks of the proper size and all the equipment is a bit excessive.  Im definitely thinking some kind of sea theme at this point to kind of go with the whole tropcial getaway idea of the basement.  Still trying to come up with a good long wacky name....with 4 ft of marquee space I figure it should have a rediculously long name.

Nice nab on a cab.....pardon the rhyming.....I like the plasma idea...sell your yugos and buy the plasma and there ya go.....seriously tho...a dual mame setup is what I would do.  One upright and one horizontal.  beer tap on the side with drink-holders....stuff like that....

well the theme has been decided, see post in project announcements

The wife is liking sharks more and more and with my fascination with aquariums and such I may just weasel my way into a 200 gal to support a nurse shark to complete the theme of the room :)

This cab is famous in both KLOV and RGVAC... It has appeared multiple times. You really need to gut it, and burn it, and post LOTS of pictures. You'd be hailed as a hero!
