No good news but no bad news either. It's still on hold for the time being, I plan on cutting all panels again more precisely using CNC256, which I need to build using CNC64, which I'm close to completing. :P

Alright, the title of my post probably requires a bit of explanation. :P
MVS-99-6 is the name I have given to my desktop-sized MVS cabinet.
Frankenstein-style is because this version will be made from 148x97mm (maximum) panels, so all parts of the cabinet will require plates to assemble them, resulting in a Frankenstein-style monster with patches and bolts everywhere. The more I work with the design in Sketchup, however, the more I think it looks kinda like a plastic version of steampunk in some strange way.
MDX3-cut because the panels are currently being cut by my Roland MDX-3 (CNC64 isn't up and running yet, but it's almost finished).
PVC version because frankly, I've had it with MDF. I can't stand that stuff anymore. I may use birch plywood in the future if I can find any locally. But in the meantime, I get free PVC panels so I'm going to use them!
2013-12-03 is the date in ISO 8601 format. ;)
MVS cabinets are usually black with red sides, however since I don't want to paint the PVC I'm going with a reversed-colors theme for this one. Everything red will be white and everything white will be red, except maybe the marquee and control panel overlay. I'm still testing things out with Sketchup.

Here's a tiny update for those of you still following this years-old project.
The speakers panel for the CNC-cut PVC version is completed. Small change on the assembly plates, I will be using 10 mm PVC for the interior plates since I'm don't have much 3 mm PVC. A side effect is stronger assembly and the ability to add things to them, such as the restrainer for the speakers cable.
Malenko:
thats pretty awesome

I thought I was done with the top marquee panel, but something seemed strange once assembled. Turns out that I need to be more careful since there's different thicknesses in my PVC offcuts. I'm guessing it's because of different suppliers for the local sign shop.
The right part is 10.04mm and the left part is 10.30mm. It doesn't sound like much of a difference until you assemble the two parts side-by-side.
The MDX-3 is busy cutting the left part once again, this time in 10.04mm PVC.
edit: problem fixed.
