Got a call from my dad today. Said he needed to add an inch to the cabinet to get the monitor at the right angle. No prob I said. He also meantioned that the birch plywood he got is a lot lighter than MDF, which is nice. He asked about the width of the cab, and I said I needed to figure out my control panel setup before I knew for sure. So tonight I went ahead and measured that all up. Looks like I'll have to add another inch to the width for it all to fit. Which makes the cab 28" wide, whichis 3" bigger than the Monkey Ball cab. I figure that's ok. Then I went and figured out the measurements of each control panel part to each other. Here's what I came up with:

The colors are like so...Black is things above the CP, Grey is things below the CP. Dotted red is a hole cut through the CP and green is an area that needs to be routed to a certain depth. Not every measurement is there, as I'm not sure on some of them, but we'll figure it out when we lay it all out later.

The other good news is that I got my check from Carleton for the cabinet. Which is good, since my credit card has a quite hefty bill right now.
