Here is a little something that I wanted to add.  It is a hidden door that conceals a DVD drive and multiport which includes: 2 USB, 1 firewire, Volume control, Gameport (useless) and microphone and headphone attachment.

Very nice I like it.  The "HIDDEN" door is a pretty nice touch.

Wow - very nice! It's like a true piece of furniture. I really like how the black contrasts with the stain. What kind of wood did you use?

Also, how is the monitor? Can it handle 15Hz, or just a pc refresh rate. If it can, how is it with changing resolutions?

Oh, and more pics, please!

The hidden door came up from a previous thread that Paigeoliver started about mounting a optical drive flush to front of cab.    Anyway, it gave me the idea to keep it "hidden" from the public, but still have access.

I ended up using Birch Professional grade plywood.  It was easy to cut and easy to finish.  I am not sure if the monitor handles 15Hz...I will check when I get home from work.

Thanks for the kind words

Looks good!  There are some similarities to one that I have built.
