Seattle Seahawks themed cabinet - DONE! 6-13-07

Thanks. I used the Assault layout from Jakobud and modified it a little to fit my needs. The original was only 16 inches wide, I increased it to 25. The CP on the original machine was about 5 inches lower then this one...when I first measured, I followed the blueprints exactly, and then stood it upright to gage where everything was...I had to bend over like the Hunchback just to reach the controls, so I brought it up 5 inches.
Not really sure why I did the off center door. I just decided that is where I wanted it on a whim. It turned out a blessing, because the computer was too tall, so I ended up laying it on it's side. WIth the off center door, it lines up perfectly with the power switch
Now I just have to convince some of the players to come over to my house and sign it. Training Camp is about 5 blocks away from my house, do you think I could wheel it down there and have them autograph it?

Sounds like you want speaker covers, but in case you hadn't thought of it, you could also get speaker cloth and cover the whole panel. Just a thought. (I actually have some extra...)
Seems like some kind of tough-looking kick plate would go well on that cab too...
Great job, though - looks really good! :applaud:

Javeryh just posted some pics of his progress w/ speaker grills on his little pink cabinet. They look nice and the price is REALLY hard to argue with (although I don't know if they have a minimum order or how expensive shipping is). He posted the link to This Site Way cheaper than Happs and really nice looking too. He may be able to offer some insight if you have any questions.

Perhaps if you sent the team a half page letter with pictures and an invite for burgers and drinkables, they might show up. You never know.
Another one down. Great job.

As someone who also lives within throwing distance of an NFL team, I'd have to say they would ignore that type of invitation. They get about 500 of them a week.
The only way I would assume it may work would be if you had built two and offered the other to the team in exchange for having yours signed.
