Well it has taken me a while to finally post my build thread of my custom AV cabinet. I had been searching for a suitable cabinet to fit all my equipment in for a while, but there was nothing I could find that met my requirements.
The problems I was having was nothing was quite deep enough to fit, as well as not looking nice, especially at the budget I was looking to spend. As my profession as a product/industrial designer I am quite picky about design!
My equipment spec:
- Dali Zensor 7 5.1 in Gloss White
- Yamaha RX-A1030
- Playstation 3
- Apple TV
- Sky HD+ Box
My 1st step was to do some CAD design and renders to see what would look good.
Some Renders:
My material choice was 18mm MDF due to better finish and cost. I created a cutting kit for all my panels then cut them out.
Thought I would secure the build with dowels and high strength wood glue.
Panels going together nicely!
First level on...
Top on!
Space for cable management at the back.
Sealing all joints...
