Scott's Computer Cabinet Project Initial Construction 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 initial construction of the large major pieces of the cabinet. This involved taking the smaller parts made during the previous stage of construction and assembling them into the larger constructs.
