Hi everyone. I was looking for a shallow cabinet that would fit on the side of my stand to hold all my Apex equipment and help with cord management. I bought this sink cabinet:
After I assembled it as it came, it looked like this:
I added wood squares left over from my stand build as legs and put sliders on the bottom to make the stand easier to slide out to work on:
Then I added a partial back to the cabinet (it didn’t have one because it’s a sink cabinet:
Then I added a top where the sink would’ve gone and put hinges on it so I can open it to get to the equipment:
I used 3 coats of latex Kilz and another 3 coats of latex paint on both pieces of wood I added to waterproof it. Finally, I mounted the equipment inside:
There’s a shelf right below the EB8 that’s removable. There’s plenty of room under it for more modules/controllers. For cord management, I drilled a hole in the stand and used a desk grommit to contain the cords:
I’m really happy with how it turned out! I’m going to organize the cords behind the stand next. I may add another cabinet on the other side for other supplies. I wanted to share my DIY project with you!
