Looking for pre-build input
fjl:
That's a nice design I like it. I see you're also using a 3d program to design it. You can view mine here. I have yet to start it though.

G'day crummy.
Since you asked for opinions, to my eyes, the cab looks a little too wide for the height, or a little short for the width... The cab looks very much like the cab Mountain started with in his project, but there's just *something* about the 3D sketch-up you posted that, to me, isn't 100%. It's a great shaped cab, but I reckon if it were slightly narrower, or taller, it would look better.
My $0.02.
Aside from all that, good luck wth the cab build. We will be watching.

Ignore all those jokers that posted above, they don't know what they're talking about. The only problem is that your cab, monitor, and PC are too transparent. Build something people can't see through.

Oh man. You would not BELIEVE how hard it is to sand to that transparency.
I'll look at increasing the height - the top half is pretty much built to the height of the monitor so I guess I'll add some length in the body
DaveMMR:
Too transparent? You should make it more transparent if you ask me! Heh. Actually, "Saint's Dream Machine" on the examples page used to link to a cab made out of plexiglass or something. I can't seem to find it right now.
Back on-topic: I like your design, crummy and I do agree that you should add a couple of inches of height to it. Also, I'd too ditch the mouse buttons. I personally believe they're a needless and redundant addition to a panel (you can wire/program your main buttons quite easily and they are in a much more comfortable position for gaming). And yes, move that ball down a couple of notches and you'll have plenty of play room. Overall, solid design! :cheers:
