Show me your diy controller board/ electronic equipment cabinets.

[bo0sted2g]

I am thinking my next project needs to be making a controller panel to mount all my equipment controllers to and to tidy up the birdsnest of wires running behind my stand.

Looking for inspiration on building one of these. If possible I would like to see the backside of the board/ cabinet too to see how to handle the powerstrips and powerbricks that come with some equipment.

Thanks in advance. Hope to see some cool ideas!

This is mine! It was built a couple of weeks ago. I’m still sorting out my wire management behind the equipment board though.

My electronics are in a metal enclosure, mounted to an aluminum back plate.

I made my stand out of marine grade aluminum. I mounted a piece of plywood between the legs to house my electronics and controllers.

Very nice, do you have any pics of the back of it? How the wires are routed? It that a part of the stand or separate?

The wiring and 2 Apex EP8s are behind the panel. The cabinet is an IKEA BESTA 15" deep. I went to Home Depot and had them cut me a pre fab shelf for my board which are supported on square dowels about 7" in. The cab is seperate from tank, I wanted to keep electronics far from moisture. I'll get pics of wiring up when I finnish cleaning up, but for now it's presentable in my living room. This also supports another 65 gal tank which is upstairs.

Can you show how you have the dowels supporting the shelf?

Love how your cabinet came out!
