[QUOTE="Narc0lep5y, post: 291698, member: 5223"] so..sooooo..soooooooo much rabbit hole. Everything is a new challenge to solve. Little stupid stuff takes forever. Like finding the right screw size for each thing, Or finding a place to get custom tempered glass, or a custom steel bar for the monitor mount. My favorite so far was paint. I thought I bought enough paint, but didn't, and when I went back to Lowe's 4 weeks later to restock, it happened to be right after they did a display change on the spray paint section, and the Krylon Automotive acrylic enamel I had decided on after testing several samples, and have now used for half the cabinet is no longer stocked in any of their stores. And the Rustoleum stuff they replaced it with is terrible and takes 3 times as much to look half as good. It's a mini cab too. Which when I first built it, I thought, "oh there's tons of room in there". Then when I started running cables, I realized this is truly a "putting 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag" situation. I remember when I was first planning it, I wanted to put solenoids in there. hahahahahahaha. Thankfully I didn't buy them first. So many mistakes. You have to enjoy the journey on this stuff because if you don't you'll spend a bunch of money on something that will never be playable. [/QUOTE]
