Here [1] is an album showing the final product, and the build.

I cheated and used a TankStick, but now I wish I hadn't. I think I could have managed the wiring, and it would have gone a long way aesthetically to integrate it all.

I designed the cabinet myself, but that was inspired by the "Vigolix" design [2]. I scaled it up to a full 6', put in a lighted marquee, added a drawer for keyboard and mouse.

The gross assembly took me 4-5 days, but a total of about a month overall because of the time to paint, dry, and sand many coats. Plus, of course, the amount of time to set up the computer hardware and software.
