I get to build my cabinet this weekend.... FUCKING FINALLY! I bought the DIY Doepfer kit #2 and it turned out to be the biggest piece of shit I've EVER touched. I bought Vector Trails and my order coming in is a PSU2, and BUS board.
I'm just trieng to decide on to make my cabinet a boring old 90 degree square cabinet like my main one or... to give it some slantyness to it. Also... I guess I'll build it with room to expand as this year I plan on owning LOTS of euro to go with my frac. Prolly 2 spaces tall and whatever the width is on the Vector T's.
MDF wood i guess. |

Still haven't finished the case...yet. I got the modules are all racked in though.
The big open space on the left is for the AFGs!!! Big space toward the bottom is for Plan B M14 and Livewire Chaos computer. Rest of the space is for Harvestman and modules yet to be acquired. _________________ dress yourself for the public. you now must exit your home and acquire a dental mirror and lubrication!

Haha nice cabinet. I built a 16U MOTM cabinet from an Ikea box. Nice wood. Nice nice wood. 8) I believe it's probably the only thing I've ever had from Ikea that I've ever really praised after it was chopped up and refit. I'll have to post some pics of it once I've got it out of storage (yes you read that right, it's been in storage for a few weeks. oh and yes, you thought that right too, I do have withdrawal symptoms ) _________________ Unique designs and ideas in sound since 2005:

It's not totally obvious, but there is no cabinet. I just racked up the modules and stacked each row on top of one another. They aren't attached to anything...a good hard sneeze would certainly knock it all over.
It looks like it's in a cabinet because it's sitting on my "workbench" desk, which has a hutch where I shove all kinds of crap.
That color is what I'm shooting for though.
The IKEA cabinet is a great idea...I'm always checking out IKEA Hacker and various other IKEA product mods...I don't know why I didn't think about that before. I'll be perusing the catalog this weekend for sure! _________________ dress yourself for the public. you now must exit your home and acquire a dental mirror and lubrication!

It sounds really stupid, but have a look at their "boxes". Buy some metal rails, cut the wood down a little and it's perfect, at least for what I wanted. _________________ Unique designs and ideas in sound since 2005:

Doepfer DIY kit #1 is very decent, the cheaper one (#2) isn't. |

Thanks. I purposefully made it on the small side so I don't go too nuts. We'll see how that works for me.  _________________ http://www.jefflaity.com/studio |
