New showcase CP build
« on: September 08, 2013, 07:19:05 pm »
I sold my midway cab build last year to fund a resto project on my truck, I recently got the itch this year to build another but in a different direction.  While I loved my stand up, I didn't like the small monitor nor did i want the weight or cost of a larger monitor.  With that in mind I decided to build a showcase CP that I could haul in my truck to friends houses, work, etc and hook to any tv/monitor.
Here's my old MK build:


And the new, untitled, build:












This time I was able to figure out the angle cuts on the CP, i'm still trying to figure out how to reinforce it at the joints...any tips?
Also the hinge and locks gotta be put in, holes drilled and rest of the parts from ultimarc arrive.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?  Does it come apart?

It's doesn't come apart (except for the control panel, i'll explain below) but the base is only 23 1/2" wide total.

Everything will be housed in the CP, controls, CPU, PW, etc.  I plan to make another stand up that I can just swap CP's back and forth.

Lol, my friends are rowdy.  Since it's a 4-player panel i had to make sure it would be sturdy, the base alone probably weights 75-85lbs.
