[QUOTE="TerryRed, post: 234636, member: 5962"] Finally, i got to put on the oil-based (no-scent) primer to help seal the MDF for painting. Then I painted the inside and back of the cabinet black. the outside was painted with "amazing" red. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/10-Painting.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/10-Painting.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now I could put everything back together. I installed chrome T-molding for the backglass. Then I installed the "front" speakers, backlgass 27 inch monitor, and 19 inch DMD / extension monitor. The 19 inch monitor sits only a little bit inside the lower cabinet. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/11-T-molding%20and%20speakers.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/11-T-molding%20and%20speakers.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The back of the cabinet has two small fans and a door for the backglass screens, and two large fans and a door for the lower cabinet. I also made some extra vent / access holes for cabling that may be needed in the future. the fans draw air out of the cabinet. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/13-rear%20fans.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/13-rear%20fans.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/14-rear%20doors.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/14-rear%20doors.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The back door allows access to the PC and cabling. The PC is mounted on a shelf on rails, so it can just slide out of the back for access if needed. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/15%20PC%20back%20view.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/15%20PC%20back%20view.jpg[/IMG][/URL] For the PC I used some mounting hardware from an old server case.
