SDVX Cabinet Build
My buddies and I decided to take on a project building our own Sound Voltex cabinet from scratch. This was my first time ever working with wood, and the only saw I really used was a circular saw. Whenever we could, though, we used my buddy’s table saw, which made things way easier. We built the frame out of 2x4s and used MDF for the sides and basically everything else. So far, we’ve put around 20 hours into the build, and we’re finally at the point where it actually looks like a cabinet. For the PC, I’m running a GTX 1050 and a i7 6700 with 16GB RAM. The controller is a Sound Voltex Lite controller, and I also managed to fit a receiver and subwoofer inside the cabinet. The end goal is to have a 5.1 sound system. I originally got into Sound Voltex after playing it at Round1, and I impulse bought a controller. After searching how expensive an actual cabinet would be, I figured, why not just build one? As for the cost, the wood started at around $80, then we made another trip that was about $50, another $50 trip, and spent around $80 on the saw. I also had to spend another $80 on a PC case to make everything work with the build. We’re definitely not done yet. The plan is to paint the cabinet and eventually vinyl press images onto the wood. If anyone wants the exact dimensions, feel free to DM me and I can send them over. I can also send some gameplay tests once we get everything running properly. Let me know what you guys think, and if you guys have any suggestions let me know.
