    Hi everyone thought I'd introduce myself I have been watching these forums for great advice since I wanted to make a cab... And I wouldn't be at this stage without you guys!

    My cabs not quite like your average cab I needed a slimline cab that wouldn't take up to much space so this one only sits out by 360mm at its widest point and 770mm wide.

    Has a Intel i5 with 8gb ram I had spare and a 24" wide-screen monitor, with an amp and speakers that I've used some blue leds to highlight...

    Two sets of sticks and buttons as well as ps3 controllers for the psx and n64, still working out the kinks and still have a bottom panel to cut and spray but I think it's not bad for my first attempt. What do you guys think?

      Very nice! I especially like the blue speakers, they look like a robot's eyes, with the monitor as an open mouth. 🤖

      One question: Is the mottled look of the lower part intentional? I'm asking because it looks quite differently than the rest of the cab.

        Thanks alot :-) I've enjoyed this one, my last one was a coffee table with a glass top and the monitor etc sat underneith, no it's not ment to be that way, there indeed is a panel that sits in front of that one however I forgot to fit it back up to the machine before I took a picture lol. I still have a few bits to do to the machine but it's come along nicely, taken around a week so far from start to now, makes it alot easier having a large cnc machine to hand :-)
