This is something I built last year, as a sister project to this one I did in 2013:

http://www.ukvac.com/forum/vertical-minicabaret_topic335372.html

It's very similar to that one in terms of materials and how it's put together. Used an old PC and 14" TV destined for the tip. Cabinet is made from 18mm MDF, the black parts are laminated, the woodgrain is vinyl.

Control panel has a ServoStik and leaf buttons, and a mini trackball and Williams-style start buttons. (The trackball is on there purely for Snake Pit...)

I have some artwork to go behind the glass (currently it is stuck onto the front of the glass) to finish it off, when I get round to it.

Thats a real nice looking cab.

Roughly how much did it cost to make?

I would say it cost approx. £250. Approaching half that was spent on controls and artwork. Apart from that it was pretty cheap - I used a free old PC and my sisters old TV. But the cost of MDF, timber, paint, vinyl, laminate, glue etc. does add up.

I will get the build pictures up soon, need to resize and rotate some of them...
