Few pic updates
Routed the front of the keyboard drawer......
Didn't too much care for the wide open look inside of the cab, nor the idea of placing a decased PC on the floor so I filled it up a bit with a 3 piece unit.
I also wanted to hide the power strips and power supplies as well.
So I figured I would create a shelf, with the bottom section used to hide the power strip for all the plugins and the power supply for the amp. The top section will hold the decased PC.
The panel running across the center will have a panel that will have headphones jack and USB outputs....Haven't ordered the panel yet.
PC shelf
Side Mounting Brackets
Installed
Top - The cutout is will have plexi on the inside, and the the inner portion of the rectangle has been routed for light blue t-molding
Bottom
Complete
A 10" blue neon light will be mounted behind the plexi to show off the decased PC in case anyone ever wants to see it.
I am also going to mount my amp horizontally across the botttom false front, which will be lit up by 2 strips of leds.
Keep in mind all of this will be painted a flat black, didnt see a reason to gloss the inside. The top and bottom pieces will have handles for easy removal and will be stabilized with double roller spring catches.

Amazing how far you have to think ahead to get this thig up and running.
Since the PC and the amp will be lit up, I only wanted this effect when the door was opened. So I am going to install a few normally open switches connected to the led and neon lighight on the door stop. Door opens, lights, door closed no lights. So no light bleeding through the cracks when the door is shut. Sorry for the blur.
Here is the mount for my admin panel....
This will not be hard mounted, it will be removable using the same double roller spring catches. This piece will also be the retainer for the glass. More on that later.
Here is the mock photo of everything just laying together. Can't attach until paint is done.
Full Shot
Finally, I started my attempt at Gamester's Bling Candy Coated paint job, check out his thread if you haven't seen it, it's something to see.

Testing.......
Thats if for now, more to come later......
