looks good.

I enjoy looking at construction pics.  Its also gives an idea of who builds these cabinets anyways.  The garage pictures usually tell fun stories.  There was one about somebodies couch.  Sometimes it turns out to be a little "Where is Waldo" game.  In one picture someone showed off there project cab as a work shelf.

In one persons construction pic, they showed their stubbed toe.  That resulted in some "OMG you have a hairy foot" posts.  It was all in good fun though.

Looks good.  What are you using, a 27" TV?  How was the fit of the bezel around the TV?

Thanks to all that replied.  Yes, it's MDF, yes, it's all over EVERYTHING I own.

My wife almost killed me when I tried to do a *little* bit more sanding after I took it inside the house.

It is a $149 27" TV from Best Buy.  The bezel is the 27" bezel from Happ Controls and fits absolutely perfectly.  I had to do some trimming to it of course, but all in all, it's great.  Really "makes" the cabinet.

I also got my 4-slot coin door in the other day.  The mechs are in pretty bad shape but not bad for $25 off eBay.

Break your site up into some more pages!  It's getting a bit long.
