Ummm, didn't see this exact answer so...

In your list of things to provide for the rest of us, will that include a rough estimate of $$ spent and parts used/bought/borrowed?

Not sure how I managed to miss this project. Must of been during my off time in this hobby... ;D

Your cab is freakn nice!!!  :notworthy:

I love that Mamewah skin, is that layout available anywhere or is an exclusive from Pix?  ;D

I think it would go perfect with my ol' lil cab

Finally after about a year its ready for the side art.

hehe I guess my cab just found its long lost father  :D

Like your cab too!... thanks for the comp :D

Pix cranked that mamewah theme out for me... I was very happy to get that done... as with everything he does... it looks great.  I'm sure he still has a copy kicking around  ;)

Yeah... I have a pile of receipts and such that I'm afraid to add up... To be fair... I would just add up the stuff I actually put into the thing... not all of the mistakes I paid for  ::)
Happy Gaming!

Very nice! I'm working on a collapsible cab myself, but don't have anywhere near the woodworking skills you do. I wish I would've thought about cams, because I'm not too sure about bolting everything together. It's amazing how clean your cab looks, I swear it looks like a pre-made kit! ;)

One question, where did you get those things to hold down the wires in your control panel and what are they called? When I get around to wiring my cab for the last time, I want to make sure I get everything clipped down and neat.

Thank you!  I used plastic cable clamps like:

They have them at Home Depot or any other place in the world that sells electrical supplies... mine were 3/8" in size.
Happy Gaming!
