Nothing wrong with that and is a perfect reason to BYOCab, but is a far cry from "there are no affordable cabs near me".

Wow, that's all it was? Sweet!

The fact that I've only built one cabinet (and am still not finished with it) is exactly what qualifies me to say it's not that hard, just about anybody can do this. I started with no tools and no woodworking experience and put together something I think is decent.

Kangum, that looks great :)
Add just two buttons on the CP and you have enough to control a jukebox quite nicely...
More importantly, as you're building a pinball, do not forget the left/right/front nudge buttons!
Where are you going to put the speakers, sides? ..and what size LCD are you going to use?
Have fun! Good luck with the project :cheers:

And that's Great (with a sincere capital G) ... but it doesn't make Paige wrong or indicate that he was calling people idiots for building their own cabs, which means that you had no reason to get bent out of shape at what he said (which is what I was talking about).
