    LOVE IT! Awesome build all around.

    When I move again, if size is a constraint, I'm doing the 40 /40.

    Keep up the excellent work.

    Awesome build Kyle!
    Great craftsmanship in all your diy projects. Lights hanger, sump, stand and tank, very clean work.
    This is a great build and you are definitely doing it right.
    I too like the blacked out look.
    Keep updating because this thread is rad!

    Thank you Corailline. :)
    Yah after I had to downgrade from my 90 build for when I'm moving in the summer before school, the dual 40B's was the way to go.
    Thanks DiverDan much appreciated man. I'll have more DIY projects to come and post within the next couple weeks.
    Thanks Vizzle. :glasses2:

    Doors are done, but still rough need to get some filler and a sanding but its surprising what you can make with just a jigsaw and a steady hand.

    FYI: this whole build was made with a Jigsaw, crappy 12v Drill and a hammer. You don't need fancy tools to build a stand.

    And sorry for the sh*tty Iphone pic.

    Awesome Kyle!
    No you don't need fancy tools just a vision and some skill to make it happen. And buddy you got skills.
    Good job!

    I need some input on weather I should go magnets or hinges with my doors? *scratches head*

    And here is a sneak peek of my controller dock that I'm working on. I have used a acrylic shelf found at target. haha My wife hates bring me anywhere because I'm always picking up random sh*t shopping with her thinking of what I could make it into..

    Personally I would do magnets. No matter how the doors are open or closed when doing maintenance they are always in the way. Door open in the way here, need to get down there but the door is closed. (Doesn't help my case that I have 2 baby latched on each door. Yes I'm smarter than a 2 year old.)

    My opinion would be magnets.

    Controller mount looks cool.

    My wife doesn't take me anywhere anymore for that particular reason. I can find anything from anywhere. No kidding.

    Sweet controller mount.
