Scott's Computer Cabinet Project Add-on Page

I needed a computer cabinet, and no one makes what I wanted. The only option was to build one myself.

This page documents the work completed after the cabinet was done. I was able to build some add-on parts for the cabinet. When possible, I used scrap material from the original construction.

The Finished Bottom

Fan Hole Staining

Since the sides were veneered plywood, dark stain was applied to cover the obvious visual issue in the fan cutouts.
