Frobozz:
Ahh, thanks for the info.  

I assume you got the PIC as a kit with an interface board for a PC that you programmed it through.  I've seen similar setups with Motorola chips at the EE labs when I was in school.  I think I'll be using a couple of relays and a timer though instead, but I like the error-proofing routines in the file (the whole fire degauss when moving from V-H or H-V but not H-H or V-V.  Programming the delay to make sure the switch was closed for a half second was a nice touch as well.)

I went out to the store to take a look at some Duramine and or Melamine.  I don't know.  I now know what you mean, but I also have had bad experience with that stuff rotting on me, especially in the basement (where my cabinet will be).  I'm probably going to stick with my original plan and use 3/4" treated plywood for the sidewalls and 1/2" for the rest.

Thanks to you, I also now know the router bit I need for T-Molding :)

Oh, another thing, what gage steel in the control panel?

:) Your rotation-spool looks really cool, I hope you can add some more detail-photos of that? Especially I wonder where and how the motor is connected with it?

I really had a hard time to find out what a lazy-Susan is (well, I'm from Germany and I don't even know how we would name this things, but yes, my mothers kitchen has one build in, too ;)) I still don't know exactly what a fridge coaster is supposed to do, although I'm clear of what a coaster is (and this makes sense to me), but what on earth has it to do with a fridge :-[

Thanx to Frobozz, I'll buy a industry-style monitor (WellsGardner U3100) if the shippment-costs won't kill me, so it shouldn't be to hard to fix it in this construction.

By the way, cool videos! I'll get a SCSI1-cable ripped, its a really nice type of connection - very smoothly to take apart and stable.

ddebuss:
You might want to think twice about using pressure treated wood.  Most pressure treated wood is treated with arsenic and famaldahyde (sp?).  These are not good things to have in a house.

If you use regular plywood, get it a bit off the floor (wheels), and paint all surfaces well you shouldn't have a rot problem.  It won't be toxic to yourself (and family.)

Also do not cut pressure treated wood indoors and/or without mask since these things are many times more toxic when cut.  That's why most home improvement stores will not cut the stuff for you.
