I see you're running HyperSpin FE, I could never get that thing to work properly :angry:

hey, what is that stuff that you used to secure the PSU? I went into a hardware store and tried to describe it to the people there, but they didn't know what I was talking about. Thanks.

I had the same issue so I had to find it myself in the plumbing section. In Canada it's called All Round but here's a pic (It comes in different sizes)

In the US, we have a similar product that I call 'plumber's tape.'

Looks like it was a nice quick build, what was the total time on it?

About a month worth of weekends and a few evenings. I ended up tweaking a few things to run (versus the quad core in my main cab) and played a few games along the way.

Versus a large cab it is definitely quicker but I'm more of a computer guy than a carpenter so your mileage may vary ;D

as I am pretty much neither I think my project is going to take awhile, but it will be fun none the less, also the reason I am converting a cab not building

I found for both cabs I designed them around making the monitors fit nice. Also used cabs are hard to come by here for conversion. I  didn't want to destroy something rare.
