Wow....ok... I learned buying an old cab is cheaper than the wood to build one. Software=Headaches Wives don't like large pieces of delapitated structures in their living room for over 2 months. I'm "cool" for building one. (Some people think I invented such a thing....lol) A 3" Happs trackball will JUST fit in the middle of a dynamo cab control panel. Theme lighting really catches the eye. Wives will eventually stop bitchin' and start kickin' ur arse at Centipede javascript:replaceText(' :P', document.forms.postmodify.message); Tongue |

For example; I have yet to play a game on my cabinet. Given the number of hours I have worked on building/re-building/troubleshooting it... I have about half that amount of time to actually PLAY it before something will go hideously wrong... and I'll have to fix something else I missed! :banghead: ;D |

Things i have learned so far... router the mfb before assembly...otherwise yuou might be routering inside your house - and completely ruin your house with dust. check these boards before ordering anything...(t-mold.com stole my money)....should have went with t-molding.com before checking the boards you usually don't know where to start....after checking the boards you will still have 8 opinions....but atleast they are 8 good opinions. haven't begun wiring or finish painting it so i am sure i will come up with a few more. |

When routing for the T-molding, make sure: 1) the piece to be routed isn't high up (I had my cab together and on sawhorses when I decided the t-molding slot wasn't wide enough 2) Wear long sleeve shirts when routing (see above!) |
| TOK:
If you calculate your build shouldn't cost more than $250, it won't cost less than $850. |
