Title: Started my 1st build todaY!
Post by: AMDman13 on January 22, 2006, 08:53:55 pm

Well after dreaming to build my cabinet for about 10 years I finally took the plunge today! :)
I've based my cabinet from Lusid's designs as I have always liked his cab and it is very well documented in Project Arcade. All I have to say is that I'm no architect! It took me about 3 hours to draw the 1st cabinet side. Thank God I can now use it as a template ! I was able to get first sheet of panels cut. Wow what a day!

I did order the project arcade book...hopefully this will calm the storm some.
