I hope so...I've been planning and collecting for months, now I'm almost ready to start...though, I can just see so many things going wrong and causing me problems...most are with the building of the cabinet...
The wiring and PC part seem like the easy part...getting a big wooden box to house everything seems like the area where I'll have most of my difficulty and unfortunately, the only people I know that can help me with any kind of wood working are 2000 miles away...and maybe the people on this board, but even that isn't quite the same as someone looking at your project, and letting you know what you did wrong...
Oh well, I'm sure I'll be posting pictures and asking questiones...

Go look at the construction page for my cabinet.

You could do this, but your saw is going to be working awfully hard. Better for it if you made two cuts.
Oh, and here's a tip. For your long straight cuts, get a nice straight board or a piece of angle iron and some clamps and use that to guide your circular saw. You'll have to clamp it a few inches back from the line you want to cut so that the base of your saw rides up against your straight edge. And remember that the distance from the edge of the base of your saw to the blade is not the same from both sides.
