Subject: Re: [motm] Open Cabinet Question

Hi Everybody,
I put a back on my wood cabinet also. I constructed
it with wood and aluminum. For the aluminum, I made
a panel the width of my cabinet and 10"long. Then I
put a 90 deg. bend in the middle. This gave me a 5"
bottom inside the cabinet to mount power busses and
the power supply. The 5" on the back is for mounting
the AC cord receptacle and any other jacks and outlets
I may need in the future. The rest of the opening is
covered by 1/8" birch plywood. I still have to stain
and finish this in walnut to match the rest of the wood.
Put some pics up if anyone cares to have a look.
Here's the back without the plywood.
