I decided my last cab wasn't exactly what I wanted so I set out to build a MK2 cab, the actual cab is too big for my house so I cut about 4 inches off the back.
Day 1: Got 3 sheets of MDF from Lowes, had them cut one of the sheets 25"x8', that way I can cut all the interior pieces and not worry about the width. I also had them make several other cuts such as the total length of the machine and the control panel top.

Day 2: Built the control box and cut the 2x4's to make a frame, had the hardest time getting it all square.

Day 3: Cut all the inner supports for the top, speaker panel and monitor bezel. The front panel and others are just mounted temporarily

Skipping about 27 days and 3 different CP designs:
Finally got it put together and inside. Over all I'm pretty happy with it:
