As I am upgrading some of my equipments, ive deided to get rid of the old unit and build a new unit.

Went to B & Q today and bought 2440x 1220 x 18mm mdf board. All cut to the sizes I wanted for free (hurrrrry).

Will be loading up some pictures once I get started.

Good / bad and recommedation welcome.

Guys as promised, here's few picture of my build so far.

The guy who cut my mdf at B&Q adviced me to use timber to give the mdf support so I bought 2 meter long timber as well from B&Q.

I cut 4 small bit from the timber and screw it on the edges of the mdf (see picture). To hide the timber I used mdf to build a case around the timber.

Here the plan was to give the build support in the middle by using 2 further small bit of the timber I cut and use mdf to build a case to hide the timber in the middle.
