Cabinet has a little give...should I worry?

Hey y'all,
When I say that it has a little give, what I mean is that while you play the games via the control panel, IF you push something too hard (a joystick, trackball, etc), it will rock side to side just a little.
My wife, who again has far more experience building things (having grown up on a farm) says she sees no cause for alarm in that little bit of give...but I thought I'd throw it to you guys. Think it's ok, or should I add extra braces, etc?
Thanks!
PetitMorte:
Well, how much effort would it take to put in a brace or two? And would that effort be worth it to keep your monitor from falling through the cabinet to the floor?
It never hurts to be careful.
whammoed:
Is it the cabinet itself that is shifting or is it just because it is not sitting on a level surface.
RTSDaddy2:
It appears to be the cab that is shifting, but I'm wondering if our floor here in the living room is just unlevel.
Secondly, it wouldn't be any real problem at all to add extra braces if needed. I have 32" of cabinet space to crawl into at the bottom - this thing's huge (had to be to hold our TV). So I could do either one.

I used Lusids plans to build my cab and had the same problem. I ended up putting extra wood braces and L brackets all over the inside to help stabilize it and its fine now.
