Parts

So the idea was to wire these cabinets up by following the Bob Roberts tutorial above. I didn't want to have to order any parts from the U.S. Sadly I have been unable to find the AC Line Filters as used by Bob in the tutorial. I've decided I simply wont use them. I did pick up switches that I believe will be suitable, as well as the terminal block I picked up. It doesn't quite match the one used by Bob, but I believe it will work just fine.

Painted & Assembled

Here are a few pictures of the cabinet painted and assembled.
I'm very happy with the overall job on this cabinet so far.
I plan on picking up some new white t-moulding in the near future.

Two Down, One To Go!

As I wait patiently for cabinet number three to be returned to me with my newly crafted control panels I decided I should make some progress with the two cabinets I have. Cabinet number one has been painted, and all be it I'm not thrilled with the overall job it isn't bad. The "keeper" however looks much better. I fully took the machine apart even removing the t-moulding. I was also very surprised with the way the paint covered this time around. When I painted the orange cabinet I ended needing two cans of paint to get a decent finish on it. However with the purple (aka Gumdrop as it was named by Krylon) this was not the case. Mind you I did paint over a surface primed with flat white, so that could be the difference maker.

Cabinet two is now fully assembled and just needs to be wired. Cabinet one needs to have a monitor support cut out before I can start wiring it.

Today I managed to get down to Sayal a local electronics store to pick up some required parts. I had hoped to wire the cabinets exactly as shown on the Bob Roberts tutorial. However I have been unable to track down AC Line Filters. I even had a hard time getting AC Distribution Blocks, however I think the terminal I got will do the same job....if not I wasted $9!

Anyway here are some pics.
