I ended up searching ebay until I found someone willing to ship for 100bucks. So I spend a fortune on my cab (380 with shipping). But what sucks... I ended up getting another monitor.. So the only thing I'm keeping is the wood itself.

So consider doing this. Build your own. It's really not all that hard and many people have put up blue prints. It's basically 4 sheets of plywood/partical board, and a monitor, and the controls.

The thing is, you will probably want to swap the CRT when you get it (if you want windows) with either a SVideo TV or a grade C VGA monitor this person has some 27" for a decent price

Anyway, what I'm saying is I spend 380 bucks for some partical board. I could have purchased a very nice table saw to built it myself. I would do that now if I was going to start over.

good luck and don't give up!
