I am building my ulitmate cab. It will have every bell and whistle that I think is cool. I have spent several years on this site reading and more reciently have been a participant in the boards and I have become absorbed in it. Yeah, this is starting to sound more like an AA confession. I have been planing the basis for a long time (about 6 years). The timing has never been right and I never had a small stream of money that I could just devote to something like this. I sold my defender and am considering selling my Ms. Pacman to fund this.
I am including in the price anything that I needed to get the job done. So if I needed 24 in clamps, it got added in the cost. Every piece of sand paper to the last washer in going on the spread sheet. My hunch is that my next cab (please don't tell the wife. This has been enough of a strain) my next cab will be cheaper as yes now I have a router and more expensivly, bits. Now I have a new sander (my makita died :'().
I am going for luxury controls. I had initially planned to use the sticks and buttons out of my old CP. I built my old CP was built back in the age where hacking a keyboard was the norm. I ripped it apart for parts then changed my mind. Now I am going crazy as I could have been using it. I want to play games so bad right now. And quite frankly a keyboard just doesn't cut it.
RandyT is the eqivilant of taking a recovering drug addict to a Greatful Dead concert. He keeps coming up with new stuff causing me to constantly rethink everything. My only issue is that his stuff adds up quickly.

I don't know when or what for, but I will!
* saint goes and hugs his shiny new used-once router.

Take up woodworking. Next thing you know, you'll have 3 shiny new routers :o My worst is the bandsaw. I bugged my wife for better than a year, finally got one, and (12 weeks later) it is still not put together.
On the cabinet costs... I have yet to spend over $350 on a scratch-built cabinet. The current conversion project is under $250. I have a rule that says each hobby must be self-supporting after tool purchases. It keeps me REAL frugal when it comes to buying parts, because I have to raise the cash with building and horse trading.

I can do you one better. I have a Dremel Scroll Saw that my parents gave me for Christmas 3 YEARS AGO that is still in the box in their garage. My mom asked me about it the other day and I told her that when I need the saw, I know exactly where it is. ;D
I also have a Radial Arm Saw (Craftsman) that I have had for 5 or 6 years, but I still haven't gotten it squared up right. I have tried 3 times and it still won't make a straight cut. >:(
