    Well some calculations were a bit off in my stand for fitting in controllers. So I need help or ideas on some kind of controller box to be mounted on the side of the stand to hide all controllers but on the other hand not look industrial at the same time,could have glass front but doesn't matter.. Any good ideas will get double +K. (not looking to have another stand sitting next to it / so that is why I'm looking into a mounted controller box..)

    Thanks.

    I'd just go to Lowes or Goodwill and get a small vanity cabinet or similar, cut the back out, drill some holes in the side of the stand for wires and be done with it;)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    What about a small one made to be a bath room cabinet. Like something you would find at IKEA.

    Possible... maybe I could have a small frag tank off to the side and have the controllers running into the stand... :thinking2

    yo ucould do a box built out if 2x4's real simple and just buy a premade cabinate door like on an entertainment center and bolt it on there.

    very similar to a medicine cabinate just dosent go into the wall
