Good job! It turned out real clean. It's so metal.... brutal.

Whats your plans with it? You attaching it to a cabinet? You ever play othello?  ;)

Yea gonna start the stand for it on tuesday. It will be a stand alone unit similar to the dream authentics stand. Because I hook it to my 42" plasma that is getting mounted on the wall in front of it in the pic above. In time once I move from the place I live in I will build a cabinet around the 40" DLP toshiba I have and the setup will be similar to a HOD style cab only instead of holsters there will be the CP.  The original theme revolves around a Midevil castle , where I will eventually be able to impliment the whole knight/castle thing in time. this is just a baby step :)
