Thats a pre furbished controller board, brs.com has those.

Or you can do something like this, it's my electrical cabinet which I customized a cheap furniture cabinet for my electrical devices.

Nope everyone just buys them, there is a company that specializes in them and makes multiple attachments and boards

What?

99% of the ones I see. people fabricate themselves to fit within their stands.

It's simple really.

Cut a board to fit inside your cabinet, map out where you want everything, cut holes for the cords to go through, then attach to the inside of your cabinet with a piano hinge.

You can get fancy and install those plastic hole thingies so the wires don't get chaffed, and cable raceways on the back to hide the cords. Or just stuff all the cords behind the board. It's still a rats nest of wires, but their hidden behind the board.

You can absolutely make one yourself. Usually laminated shelf material from a hardware store or similar. Check out this for ideas and go from there.

99% huh? most are purchased, obviously you can make one! definitely someone who's asking about them isn't building otherwise they would just build it right, to the way they need it, because they have building/carpentry skills, and if you just say build one that's great but maybe they are Interested in seeing one first then say " hey I could make that" so 99% that's a bit high I know 2 of my buddies and me have purchased them so that's way less than 99% just saying...

Yeah good luck with laminated shelf material, whatever that even means... hey o.p the one they sell is extruded pvc not wood ,not wood laminated, it's water/weather proof and with stainless hardware but this takes knowledge about correct building materials for projects. Also why more than 1% of people just buy them.. but to start your endeavor I would check them out since you were having a hard time finding them, then decide from there if your needing a diy or purchase route.

For clarification, since some folks seem to have a limited amount of experience building things, this is Laminate Shelving:

100% Waterproof material is nice but not always necessary depending on the installation. Laminate shelving is plastic sealed on all but 1 edge or wherever you make a cut. Easy to finish the edge afterward.

Bottom line there’s a lot of ways to skin this cat. You can build or buy. Your choice. I hope the info I provided was at least helpful and an actual reply to the question you asked.

They are all replys, how do you reseal the cut edges of a laminated piece of particle board? What folks?

 

[cgripp256]

Google it.

 

[gibbers]

I just have a dedicated cabinet, still a work in progress

 

[thatmanMIKEson]

Google it.

Idk why your quoting my reply to someone else..

And the answer is you can't reseal, laminated wood once you drill a hole in it, those plastic inserts don't glue in and seal the wood. Are you trying to get to some sort of point? Am I missing it try to be direct if there is something im missing

Lol that isn't an Adaptive Reef controller board in the OP. Helps if you know what you're talking about before being rude to someone.

I wasn't being rude although you may have interpreted it that way, and I never said it was anything but a controller board, I guess read before you start minding someone else's business
