Wheels
toolaa:
I had two straight casters in the rear and two swivel lockers on the front. After a while I realized the swivelers were wobbling with hard play. I replaced the front swivel casters with now adjustable legs with rubber pads from Happ and I am very happy with the mobility and stability. I think I am going to do the same thing on the Super Sprint cab. It's about 400lbs and while I am working on it I find I need access to the rear panel often.

I did the same. Fixed Castors on the back and swivel on the front. The gap between floor and cab is less than 1".
I figure (when it is finished), if it moves around I can slide something under the cab which will butt up against the wheels to stop them from moving. I think the Castors with a brake are a great idea but getting to them is a problem unless you have a removable access panel in the bottom of your cab.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned having the back of the cabinet, with no cover at the bottom, so that the wheels show in the back, or you could put a hinged skirt in the back.
Mobility really wouldn't be my motivation for putting wheels on though, as mentioned, I'd just like the MDF off of the floor.
Franco:
I used four swivel castors on mine as I was able to get them cheap and mounted them on a sunken platform inside the cab leaving about 1/2" between the floor and bottom of the cab. I just moved house this week and the castors made it so much easier to move. I thought there would be some issues with wobbling etc due to using all swivels but the weight of the 22" crt and the cab itself means that there is no wobble at all.

Hi...
I've put 3 wheels under the cabinet on the back side. They don't show, because they are covered by the bottom frame. When it stands still, the cab stays with the wheels touching the ground and the front of the cab also. That way she can't move. When I want to move it, I simply take the front off the ground and push or pull the cab as it stays with only the wheels touching the ground.
