The nice thing about arcing the front is it keeps everything a
basically the same focal point and cuts the vertical dimension
considerably.  this cabinet fits three rows ans sits 11 1/2 inches high.

I also thought it was a nice touch for this specific case as it's
reminiscent of the 200's they once had.

here's a shot of it before painting/puddy/sanding:

Amy Knoles - CIA faculty and long-time member of the fabled
California E.A.R. Unit (http://www.earunit.org/)  made a pretty funny
comment when she saw me lugging the thing in from the parking lot.
it's about 45 pounds once fully assembled.  Started off easy but
towards the end I probably looked like one of the ants from A Bugs
Life when they were fetching the Spring Offering:

"You know, you can do that with software now and it won't screw up
your back"

THAT was good larf.
