Only if I need to add or remove a piece of equipment. Which very rarely happens. I dont anticipate ever having to move the cabinet for any other reason

I appreciate you kind sir. This is my weekend project!

I built mine. Building it was not the hard part, neatly running all the wires was. Im happy with the outcome and the time investment.

I used 1x3 for the frame (I wish I would have used 1x4 to give me more depth in the cabinet) 3/4" plywood for the front, and 1/4" plywood for the back. It's 28x24.

Thank you. It was a fun project. Ive never spent so much time on cord management, but it was worth it.

I picked up an inexpensive cabinet from target and turned it into a mounting board

Picked up a piece of cabinet board from menards along with desk grommets

We're you able to find that inside board in one peice. I ended up getting two 12 x 36 :/

Yes, it was a big piece, I had to cut it down. I believe it was 36x48

Here is my setup. Nowhere near as slick as some people's.

I made this from some leftover

wood and painted it orange. Turns out there is still a mess of wires hidden behind it,

So much better than the mess I have. Wish I was handy.

Not perfect but 100xs better

I built my stand long so I could fit the controllers in one end. It's just a piece of plywood screwed into place, with grommets. Wires are cable-tied together on the sump side.
