After the glue dries, I used a sanding block to make all of the edges as flush as possible. Once it was all cut out, I used wood glue and clamps to put it all together. Don’t worry too much if everything is perfect, as most everything will be covered up with hardware. I marked the dimensions of the box on the plywood and cut everything out with a jigsaw. I’ve included a diagram with the measurements of my box that you can use as a basic template and make adjustments accordingly to your particular hardware on hand. Alternatively, you could mount speakers inside the box, but this is an added step/expense. Lastly, I would recommend a monitor with built-in speakers. Form factor is important to consider, so it won’t be too deep or difficult to mount. It’s also important to make sure that the monitor has a decent viewing angle from all sides, as it will be mounted flat on it’s back and viewed from each side. When choosing a monitor, there are several factors to consider It’s important to make sure that the monitor, once turned on, will come back on after being unplugged and plugged back in, as the power button will likely be inaccessible once the cabinet is assembled. It’s also important to not make it too large and difficult to transport, nor too small and uncomfortable to play. Before committing to a size, it’s a good idea to have gathered most of the hardware so that you can lay everything out and make sure the box is big enough to house all of the components. I chose 1/2” plywood held together with aluminum hardware to keep the box as light and strong as possible. I wanted the cabinet to have a “bomb squad” aesthetic to follow the Bomberman theme and originally had planned on buying a road/flight case and fitting the project inside, but was unable to find one that was a suitable size or one in my price range, so I decided to make one.
