Hi all,
Awesome job Tkalxx, I'm going to up my wiring game! BNC and then cat 5 wiring were my gateway into IT, so maybe I can remember some of those skills. Have you finished up. Any newer pics? Advice?
My 28x28x12 Craftsman wall cabinet came in, and I assembled most of it yesterday. I was thinking about whether to put the included shelf on the bottom slot, but I'm going leave it out for now and dedicate the cabinet to CNC control. I found a nice piece of plywood in the shed for a backplate. Once I have a handle on the backplate size, I'll draw it up as far as I can.

Attached are some up to date images of my build - still have to find a better solution in terms of an enclosure.
Seeing as you are in the IT field, you probably know a lot more than I do, however, my one advice is to organize your cabinet such that there is minimal interaction between AC power and any low voltage DC lines. In my cabinet all AC and high voltage DC is routed on the right side and low voltage DC/TTL signals are on the left side. I chose to use shielded cable for all signal wires as I've had noise issues in the past.
Keep the build pictures coming!
