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.

This was all I had to work with in design of the hutch. The design was based on actual VCR measurements.

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