How long did it take you to build your cab?
<< < (2/5) > >>
MYX:
I had thought about how I would build it and what would be included for like 5 years. Then I decided that Jan 06 would be the starting point. It took about a year for it to all come together. Because I had no real plans I kind of made it up as I went and got really tired at times because I had so many little details all trying to come together. It was trying to solve a puzzle when the puzzle pieces don't exist yet. I have spent a lot of time dinking with the front end and the computer.
I have a metal piece that still needs to go in place. I also have some sound absorption material that should cut down the power supply fan noise. I got to build on weekends and evenings. I got obsessed too many times. I got in trouble at work and with the family for not choosing the right priorities. (I feel bad for that).
I really enjoyed building it. I really hated building it.Truly had the full range of emotions. (especially the day it fell off the saw horses and nearly broke into a brazillion pieces.). Bottom line,  I am so glad I built it.  Tonight my son and I were playing frogger. He loves that game. I actually like it now. We probably blew the equivalent of $5.00. I figure that the cab should pay off in about 12 years.  ;)

I build pretty quick. Like, not Spacies quick or Knievel quick, but I dont take that long. My last cabinet took about 2 weeks. My first one took 5 days. Then I redid it and it took another couple days.

Years!!!  I guess its been done for a while now, but I keep changing & modifying things.  Honestly, I don't think I'll ever be 100% done.  That reminds me, I should update my progress page for my cabinet.

took me about two months. i was really tough on myself as im good at starting things and never finishing them. for instance ive started a space invaders replica months ago and as soon as i hit a bit of a snag its ended up stored away! probably two good weeks and itd be done...
