Well, it is starting to look like a cabinet! Last night after work I attached the battens to the sides and then attached the sides to the base. Once that was done, I attached the top and angle panels for stability - tomorrow I will trim up the other panels to make them fit and install them. I will then begin the task of mounting the monitor. There are lots of new pics in the Project Pics section now, with pics of the new W-G D9200 monitor as well.
For those wondering, I based my cabinet on LuSID's version 7 cabinet (see link above); it was the best plan that would handle the 27" D9200. I originally wanted a Defender-type cabinet, but the original cab dimensions were too small so I modified LuSID's plans. I goofed on the marquee though - it is only 7", not the standard 8", so I will have to tinker a bit, but it's okay - it will still be a sharp cab :) I also made the coin door / panel different, as well as the mods to the control panel. I really wanted to have some unique touches to the cabinet, and it's been fun re-learning woodworking skills I haven't used since high school woodshop.
