Cocktail for first cab.... too hard?
rjarcade:
I think the whammocade has inspired quite a few of us!
Dexter:
I've just finished my first cocktail cab for a friend. Mounting the monitor is indeed the hardest part (well for me anyway). I bolted the metal 'ears' on the corner of the tube to metal braces then screwed these to mdf with the shape of the tube cut out. Awkward, but as it's going to a friend I want as solid a mount as possible. I'll post pics when available.

You have some bloody great cabs there! I like the pic with Mortal Kombat on screen.

actually it was pactacular that first got me thinking about building one
javeryh:
I think I'm going to go for it but I am really nervous about the monitor. I'm not even sure how to remove it from it's casing (although I'm sure if I actually tried I could do it). What particularly worries me though is once the monitor is caseless, isn't there a risk of a fire or a short or a power surge or something? I keep reading that this is very dangerous.
Imagine if after months of convincing my wife to let me build one of these things that it ends up burning the house down...
