Anyone make the cab able to be taken apart in sections?

I went with laminated MDF panels over a 2x4 frame for Farbcade:

My first cab I build with cam locks so I could break it down completely...

Mine is built similar to the ultimate arcade II from mameroom in that it has a top part that sits on (and hugs from either side) a base unit. I screwed them together from the inside out so no fasteners between the two are visible. Also, with just the cp removed, mine will roll right through a standard 3' doorway. I also built it with cam and dowel construction and used no glue so if all else fails I can tear it down completely and not harm any of the parts. Needless to say I wanted to keep my options open with this thing. I attached a side profile of it if you want to get a better idea. It is done now so I should have a pic to post but I haven't gotten around to taking any yet.

This one is made to come apart.

I was trying to work out a way to make a cab collapsible using hinges. Since most of the inside is hollow, I thought there might be a way to have it fold somewhat flatter in on itself, so it could at least be slid in the back of a car with the seats folded down.
I never did figure out a way to do it.
I'm building my cab from plywood and using an LCD screen so it will be light. Although I am going to have a removable plinth, but that's mostly for a height adjustment. And there'll be wheels on the back corners for sure. 8)
