Got two words for you:
Work of art!

[bladexdsl]

can you post a few pics of how you got the drawer mounted inside cos i was gonna do something similar for a m/b tray

[Darkfall]

One shelf for the PC and one for all the electronic components and terminals

Wow. That's the best looking wiring setup I've seen yet. Outstanding!

Thanks for the compliments gents. Much appreciated.

@Bladex - I used angle steel and welded a frame up. Will take some happy snaps when I go to dismantle my cab to get painted. Are you looking to do yours out of MDF or steel?

[bladexdsl]

i got a spare mdf board i'll use that

I think some of the other cabs have plyboard sides for thier pc on slide rails. Have a search though some of thier threads or even just google 'how to install draw slides' and you will find a heap of guides.

yeah i know how to install them but i have to install them through the back door of the cab and there's no where to attach them. you've got yours mounted through the back door too how did you do it?

As I said Bladex, I welded a frame together to mount the draw runners onto. If your using MDF, all you need to do is have 2 sides square and parallel and mount your draw slides on them.

There is a functional way, and a beautiful way.
Maxxsinner did a combination of them, but for us "normal" HUMANS, sometimes the functional way is the way to go, so grab some mdf board and do your own version Bladex. I know it's nice to have a good looking inside, but if you don't know the "hows", just do it the best you can.

Green blood from booze? Just what are you drinking, there? *laughs*.

Absinthe....which explains a lot

Nice idea on the two tier system, looks great but aren't you concerned about the molten slag that's going to drip from the overclocked behemoth above that fancy relay board of yours?

Cheers

[maxxsinner]

Dammit Zeb. I thought the whole thing about the Absinthe was between you and I

I figure that the molten dross from the CPU should drip down rather than up so should be all good.

Big day on the tools yesterday.... and stayed off the drink. ... until 5 pm then made up for it

Monitors mounted and speaker grills installed



Top panel rebated for Cree heatsinks



Going to install the Crees today and look at rebating my buttons on the front panel.. once this hangover eases up.

You should have done that before you took those drinks, you cant even align the holes straight!

Nice work! You deserved the drinks!

Hello, I use a translator.
Fantastic, congratulations for your work. I will follow your work from France.
I have myself received a little "Sandy Bridge and gtx" ... for my PC, for now I do not have the screen but I have an empty box waiting. And I expect I'm training for a mini pinball (22.19) is already great.
Have you planned a system for shaking?
Good luck and do not forget the photos, my English is deplorable.

[maxxsinner]

Hey laurentjost.

Glad to hear your starting a build of your own and thank you for the compliments.

The shaker that I am using is from Wolfsoft

This is the intensity controller -Dual H bridge

Got a heap done over the last day or so. Had a mate come and give it a quick coat of paint to seal the unit.



Then dove head first into my favorite bit - wires!

Pc wiring



Powerboard wiring



LEDwiz and Ipac wires



Lights for the backbox
