Barry Barcrest:
So you may be offering these as kits then dude >:D

Wow CNC machines look like a lot of fun. Too bad I'll never get to play around with one. :-[
shardian:
That is just plain badass how the name of the piece is scribed into the wood. A kit would be very interesting indeed!

I decided to focus on the inside tonight. Upon consideration of where everything would fit, I decided to keep six inches open behind the speakers for the receiver. I also determined that the wide screen and the small touchscreen will barely, and I mean barely fit inside the area available. I'll try to get the touchscreen area done over the weekend and the bubbler areas. I have 20 rgb's to install, so I was trying to determine how and where to incorporate them all. Now to the pics:
I decided to make a slide in sleeve type of contraption so that I could build the outsides, slide in the inside, and finish installation. It took about three hours to draw up all the details, but it was fun. By having the speakers sitting back appx. 3 inches, I should be able to fit the speaker grills and any lighting in there without issue. Here is a three pic tutorial on how it went together.
Here is the jukebox with everything sitting in there loose:
Here is a shot of the back. I did not make a back of the speaker box yet, as I still need to determine where the pressure holes will go and exactly what is going behind it.
And in closing, just a few more shots of the total progress:
I love the idea that this has only cost $70 in material to make so far. I think that I will be under $125 in wood by the time it's all said and done. :cheers:

Man, that thing is going to be nice! I like those round at the top Jukes ;). Are you re-using the Cerwin Vega's?
