Hi guys,
as i couldnt afford a flight case that was in 'battle mode' i decided to get some wood and do it myself. Which then just turned into an enclosure. but as i used it for a few years and bashed it up a bit i thought id post just a quick blog of how I refurbed it.
how it used to be at my uni diggs:

on wards and upwards though. i soon changed to a A&H Xone 02 and needed access to the front controls, so with limited tools i cut a nasty section out and made a bit of a mess! (no pictures thankfully)
so, when i finished with all that studenty stuff it was time for a make over.
so, i started rubbing it down and tidied up the section i cut out.

in primer and all tidy, i also cut a hole for the cables to run down.

i couldnt decide on a colour, and after many grand ideas of getting back into graffiti and attacking it, i painted it satin black....
the walls were lined with acoustic fabric and the base with some carpet i found in a cupboard.
i also inserted a plastic cable port from an office desk to make the hole cleaner.

and wrapped some dividers in the same fabric with cable holes.

and loaded up! with my new mixer. dicers are long gone now however.

and since building this, ive moved into my own place with the girlfriend, not much room to have it around though, so ive made use of the sideboard in the living room :D

thanks guys, hope you enjoyed it :) and that it gives people some ideas for their own builds.
