Look at the OP and then under the heading Goal in bold and large letters :P

 

I'm on mobile OCC and lazy... but I read it anyway. :lol:

 

I always wanted to do a build like this for myself strictly for music and or movies. So sick, good job SB!

Piece of . is not longer a piece of .! =P

 

I'd love to be the proud owner of that thing XD

For the measly sum of $2k plus shipping you could be ;) haha

 

You should definitely try and do some modding its so fun and rewarding the only real pita is removing and then putting back all the rivets, when pulling down and remaking the case. I literally had about 30 rivets to remove from this pos. However the final product has come up pretty damn great.

This was at one point going to hold all the music and movies but that job has be delegated to a different computer and this one will work really as just another back up for the music collection.

Where is the carbon fiber coming from? I'm trying to source a decent bit

And arcade parts site I will let you know what the quality is like when I get some.

ATM I don't care if its shit cos its better than the current finish on the cabinet.

 

In regards to price its $20 a meter and is 600mm wide and is posted in a tube at a flat rate of $10 auswide.

 

I will take a heap of macro shots to show the quality whatever it may be.
