What have you learned building your cabinet???

Wow....ok...

I learned buying an old cab is cheaper than the wood to build one.

Software=Headaches

Wives don't like large pieces of delapitated structures in their living room for over 2 months.

I'm "cool" for building one.  (Some people think I invented such a thing....lol)

A 3" Happs trackball will JUST fit in the middle of a dynamo cab control panel.

Theme lighting really catches the eye.

Wives will eventually stop bitchin' and start kickin' ur arse at Centipede javascript:replaceText(' :P', document.forms.postmodify.message);

I think of it as a "karmic debt" sort of thing.  For example; I have yet to play a game on my cabinet.  Given the number of hours I have worked on building/re-building/troubleshooting it... I have about half that amount of time to actually PLAY it before something will go hideously wrong... and I'll have to fix something else I missed! :banghead: ;D

Things i have learned so far...

router the mfb before assembly...otherwise yuou might be routering inside your house - and completely ruin your house with dust.

check these boards before ordering anything...(t-mold.com stole my money)....should have went with t-molding.com

before checking the boards you usually don't know where to start....after checking the boards you will still have 8 opinions....but atleast they are 8 good opinions.

haven't begun wiring or finish painting it so i am sure i will come up with a few more.

kkingsto:
When routing for the T-molding, make sure:

1) the piece to be routed isn't high up (I had my cab together and on sawhorses when I decided the t-molding slot wasn't wide enough

2) Wear long sleeve shirts when routing (see above!)

TOK:
If you calculate your build shouldn't cost more than $250, it won't cost less than $850.
